As the second largest airline in the world, United operates about 1,700 flights a day and around 20% of all US flights. It has the most extensive worldwide route structure of any airline. While the bankruptcy will probably have no immediate effect on passengers, protection from creditors will come at a steep price for the 83,000 employees who own 55% of the company. A bankruptcy court judge is almost certain to order wage and job cuts and could dissolve the employee stock ownership plan.
The board of directors of United's parent company, UAL Corp, voted unanimously last night to authorise management to file for bankruptcy, a person familiar with the situation said. The move came as airline officials put final touches on $1.5bn in debtor-in-possession financing, to be obtained from several banks.
