   UAL CORPORATION EXPECTS TO POST A LOSS IN THE THIRD QUARTER
   -----------------------------------------------------------

     CHICAGO, Sept. 29, 2000  -- UAL Corporation (NYSE: UAL), the

holding company whose primary subsidiary is United Airlines,

today announced that it expects to post a loss for the third

quarter.

     "The third quarter has been a difficult period for United,"

said James E. Goodwin, UAL Corporation Chairman and Chief

Executive Officer.  "The disruptions to our operations throughout

the quarter greatly inconvenienced our customers and front-line

employees, reducing revenues significantly.  On the cost side,

while we are pleased that we were able to reach a tentative pilot

contract, the financial implications of the agreement, coupled

with the higher price of jet fuel, will further impact our

results.  Therefore, we expect to post a loss in the third

quarter and probably in the fourth quarter as well."

     The company experienced an abnormally high level of delays

and cancellations throughout the peak travel season.  In

response, it adjusted its schedule to reduce the inconvenience

caused by the disruptions to its customers and front-line

employees, and this, combined with the effect of the disruptions

themselves, had a significant effect on revenues.

     Affecting the company's costs are the recent tentative pilot

contract agreement and the higher cost of jet fuel.  The cost of

the tentative pilot agreement, as well as the expected impact of

other labor agreements which the company is now negotiating, will

be greater than originally anticipated.  The higher price of fuel

is also a cost factor.  The company has a hedge program in place

against crude oil cost increases for the year.  However, the cost

of jet fuel has risen at a higher rate than the cost of crude oil,

and this will affect the company's costs for the quarter.

     "While the quarter's events are negatively impacting our

financial performance," Goodwin commented, "we are making every

effort to improve our operations and restore our customers'

confidence in United.  We believe that these efforts will help us

return to profitability.   I'd like to take this opportunity to

thank our customers for their understanding and our front-line

employees for their dedication under extreme circumstances."
