History
United's roots go back to Varney Air Lines, founded in 1926 in Boise, Idaho, one of the airmail carriers later consolidated in 1931 under what became United Air Lines, part of a group of companies tied to Boeing. In 2010, United merged with Continental Airlines, adopting the United name and brand under the new United Airlines Holdings and significantly expanding its route network, notably through Continental's Houston and Newark operations.
Current Operations
United operates a large hub network centered on Chicago O'Hare, with major hubs also in Denver, Houston, Newark, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington Dulles, and Guam, serving hundreds of destinations across six continents with one of the largest mainline fleets in the world, spanning Boeing narrowbody and widebody jets alongside Airbus aircraft. Its 'United Next' initiative involves large orders of narrowbody jets and Boeing 787s, and the airline has rolled out complimentary Starlink satellite Wi-Fi across its fleet. United is a founding member of Star Alliance and operates under parent company United Airlines Holdings.
