Exhibit 99.2

Investor Update Issue Date: July 24, 2014

This investor update provides guidance and certain forward looking statements about United Continental Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “UAL”). The information in this investor update contains the financial and operational outlook for the Company for third quarter and full year 2014.

Capacity

For third quarter 2014, the Company estimates its consolidated system available seat miles (“ASMs”) to increase between 0.2% and 1.2% compared to the same period in the prior year. The Company estimates its full-year 2014 consolidated system ASMs to be between flat and up 1.0% year-over-year.

Revenue

The Company expects its third-quarter 2014 consolidated passenger revenue per available seat mile (“PRASM”) to increase between 2.0% and 4.0% versus the third quarter of 2013.

Advance Booked Seat Factor (Percentage of Available Seats that are Sold)

Compared to the same period last year, for the next six weeks, mainline domestic advance booked seat factor is down 1.5 points and mainline international advance booked seat factor is up 0.8 points. Mainline Atlantic advance booked seat factor is down 0.9 points, mainline Pacific advance booked seat factor is down 1.2 points and mainline Latin America advance booked seat factor is up 4.6 points. Regional advance booked seat factor is down 2.2 points.

Non-Fuel Expense

For the third quarter 2014, the Company expects consolidated cost per ASM (“CASM”), excluding profit sharing, fuel, third-party business expenses and special charges, to increase 1.0% to 2.0% year-over-year. The Company expects full-year 2014 consolidated CASM, excluding profit sharing, fuel, third-party business expenses and special charges, to increase 1.0% to 2.0% year-over-year.

The Company expects to record approximately $70 million of third-party business expense in the third quarter and approximately $550 million for full year 2014. Corresponding third-party business revenue associated with third-party business activities is recorded in other revenue. As of June 30, 2014, the Company ended its agreement to sell fuel to a third party, which will reduce other revenue and third-party business expense.

Fuel Expense

UAL estimates its consolidated fuel price, including the impact of settled hedges, to be between $3.02 and $3.07 per gallon for the third quarter and between $3.06 and $3.11 for full year 2014. These estimates are based on the July 17, 2014 fuel forward curve.

Non-Operating Expense

The Company estimates non-operating expense to be between $155 million and $185 million for the third quarter and between $660 million and $710 million for full year 2014.

The Company excludes non-cash gains/losses on fuel hedges from its non-operating expense guidance and non-GAAP earnings.

Profit Sharing and Share-Based Compensation

For 2014, the Company will pay approximately 10% of total adjusted earnings as profit sharing to employees for adjusted earnings up to a 6.9% adjusted pre-tax margin and approximately 14% for any adjusted earnings above that amount. Adjusted earnings for the purposes of profit sharing are calculated as GAAP pre-tax earnings, excluding special items, profit sharing expense and share-based compensation program expense.

Share-based compensation expense for the purposes of the profit sharing calculation is estimated to be $59 million year to date through the third quarter 2014 and $80 million for full year 2014.

Capital Expenditures and Scheduled Debt and Capital Lease Payments

The Company expects between $630 million and $680 million of gross capital expenditures in the third quarter and approximately $3.1 billion for full year 2014, including net purchase deposits. UAL’s gross capital expenditures exclude fully reimbursable capital projects.

The Company expects scheduled debt and capital lease payments of approximately $300 million in the third quarter and approximately $1.6 billion for full year 2014, including all pre-payments made year to date.

Pension Expense and Contributions

The Company estimates that its pension expense will be approximately $130 million for full-year 2014. This amount excludes non-cash settlement charges related to lump-sum distributions. The Company expects to make approximately $290 million of cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans in 2014.

Taxes

UAL currently expects to record minimal cash income taxes in 2014.

Company Outlook

Fuel Price Sensitivity

As of July 17, 2014, the Company had hedged 26% of its projected fuel requirements for third quarter 2014, 31% for fourth quarter 2014 and 28% for full year 2014. The Company uses a combination of swaps, three-way and four-way collars on aircraft fuel and Brent crude oil.

With the Company’s current portfolio, hedge gains/losses are recorded in both fuel expense and non-operating expense (cash-settled and non-cash). The table below outlines the Company’s estimated cash hedge impacts at various price points relative to the baseline July 17, 2014 fuel forward curve, where Brent crude spot price was $107.89 per barrel.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

UAL evaluates its financial performance utilizing various accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and Non-GAAP financial measures, including net income/loss, net earnings/loss per share and CASM, among others. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented because they provide management and investors the ability to measure and monitor UAL’s performance on a consistent basis. CASM is a common metric used in the airline industry to measure an airline’s cost structure and efficiency. Pursuant to SEC Regulation G, UAL has included the following reconciliation of reported Non-GAAP financial measures to comparable financial measures reported on a GAAP basis. UAL believes that excluding fuel costs from certain measures is useful to investors because it provides an additional measure of management’s performance excluding the effects of a significant cost item over which management has limited influence. UAL believes that adjusting for special charges is useful to investors because they are non-recurring charges not indicative of UAL’s ongoing performance. UAL also believes that excluding third-party business expenses, such as maintenance, ground handling and catering services for third parties, fuel sales and non-air mileage redemptions, provides more meaningful disclosure because these expenses are not directly related to UAL’s core business. UAL also believes excluding profit sharing allows investors to better understand and analyze our recurring cost performance and provides a more meaningful comparison of our core operating costs to the airline industry. In addition, UAL believes that excluding non-cash (gains)/losses on fuel hedges from non-operating expense is useful because it allows investors to better understand the impact of settled hedges on a given period’s results.

(a) Operating expense per ASM – CASM excludes special charges, the impact of certain primarily non-cash impairment, severance and other similar accounting charges. While the Company anticipates that it will record such special charges throughout the year and may record profit sharing, at this time the Company is unable to provide an estimate of these charges with reasonable certainty.

(b) These financial measures provide management and investors the ability to measure and monitor the Company’s performance on a consistent basis.

(c) Both the cost and availability of fuel are subject to many economic and political factors and are therefore beyond the Company’s control.
