  UAL CORPORATION REPORTS STRONG SECOND-QUARTER RESULTS DESPITE
                     CHALLENGING CONDITIONS

  - Earnings per share on a fully distributed basis were $3.47,
    excluding two special charges.
  - Strong revenue growth for the quarter offset challenges
    stemming from higher fuel prices and an abnormally high rate
    of operational disruptions.
  - Third quarter 2000 earnings per share are expected to range
    between $2.60 and $3.20.

     CHICAGO, July 19, 2000 -- UAL Corporation (NYSE: UAL), the
holding company whose primary subsidiary is United Airlines,
reported second-quarter earnings today.
     In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP), second-quarter net earnings were $374 million ($3.19 per
share) on operating earnings of $666 million, excluding two
special charges described below.  These results compare to second
quarter 1999 net earnings of $244 million ($1.92 per share),
excluding an extraordinary item associated with early debt
retirement and an after-tax gain of $428 million associated with
the sale of a portion of the company's stake in Galileo
International.  Second quarter 1999 operating earnings were $433
million.
     On a pro forma, fully distributed basis (see below for
further explanation of the methodology), second quarter net
earnings were $408 million ($3.47 per share) on second-quarter
operating earnings of $721 million, all before the two special
charges.  This compares to second quarter 1999 net earnings of
$349 million ($2.86 per share), excluding the extraordinary item
and after-tax gain, and operating earnings of $615 million.
     The company recorded two special charges in the second
quarter of 2000.  One was a $23 million (net of tax) non-
recurring charge associated with the planned replacement of the
inflight video system on certain Boeing 777-222 aircraft.  The
other was a $15 million (net of tax) charge associated with the
early retirement of seven leased B747-238 aircraft.

Chairman's Comments

     "We are pleased with our strong second-quarter results,
which came despite several

                              - 2 -

challenges," said James E. Goodwin, UAL Corporation Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer.  "The quarter's performance reflects
continued revenue strength, particularly in the United States,
and also in our international regions.  These favorable revenue
results offset the effects of higher year-over-year fuel prices
as well as operational disruptions we faced in the quarter.  Out
of concern for our customers, we have adjusted our schedule to
reduce the inconvenience caused by the abnormally high rate of
delays and cancellations due to unusually bad weather, air
traffic control-related difficulties and the impact of crew
issues.  I want to thank our customers for their patience during
this period, as well as our frontline employees for their effort
and dedication in working to allay the effects of these
disruptions on our customers."

Second-quarter Highlights

     Toward enhancing stockholder value, United continued to
develop the core airline and build on the company's other
strategic businesses during the quarter.  Highlights include:

     US Airways Acquisition.  UAL Corporation and US Airways
     Group, Inc. announced May 24 that their boards of directors
     have approved a definitive merger agreement pursuant to
     which US Airways will be acquired by United in an all-cash
     transaction valued at $4.3 billion. The combination of
     United and US Airways will deliver significant benefits to
     millions of passengers and hundreds of communities
     throughout the United States.  The new network will make
     traveling more convenient for passengers, connecting US
     Airways' eastern U.S. markets with United's east-west and
     international markets.   The merger is conditioned upon,
     among other things, the approvals of US Airways
     stockholders, regulatory clearance and other customary
     closing conditions.

     UAL Common Stock Dividend.  As part of the company's
     initiatives to return cash to stockholders UAL Corporation
     instituted a $0.3125 dividend on UAL common stock in the second
     quarter.  A second dividend of $0.3125 has been declared and is
     payable on August 1 to stockholders of record July 14, 2000.

     E-Commerce. United continued expanding the company's
     Internet presence during the quarter.  The introduction of
     two new features to united.com makes planning trips
     worldwide easier and faster:  Customers can now print E-
     ticket receipts online and download flight schedules for use
     without Internet access. In addition, many of United's
     international customers now have new travel booking and
     purchase opportunities with the launch of online booking
     capabilities through 12 new country-specific versions of the
     united.com web site. Gross air bookings on united.com grew
     over 130 percent over the same period last year. Total
     United revenue generated over the Internet reached $204
     million in the second quarter versus $80 million a year ago,
     representing more than a 150 percent increase.

                              - 3 -

     Mileage Plus(R).  Revenue from third-party mileage sales
     reached $114 million during the second quarter, an increase
     of 17 percent over the same period last year. United formed
     a partnership during the quarter with Abercrombie & Kent,
     the renowned upscale tour operator, offering 5,000 Mileage
     Plus bonus miles on selected packages booked by the end of
     the year.

     More Space and Entertainment Options.  Response from
     United's frequent fliers to the company's new Economy Plus
     product has been markedly favorable, as surveys of these
     premium customers show approval for Economy Plus' five
     inches of added legroom.  During the quarter, United became
     the first major U.S. airline to offer customers free
     headsets for inflight feature viewing in all cabin classes
     on U.S. domestic flights offering video programming.

     Strategic Alliances.  Singapore Airlines joined Star
     Alliance during the second quarter.  With the addition of
     its 11th member, the Star Alliance network provides United
     customers with service to more than 810 destinations in 130
     countries worldwide.  In addition, Star Alliance members
     United and Air Canada launched the industry's first true
     interline electronic ticketing service in June.  The
     service, an historic development in that it provides full
     functionality on two separate reservations systems, enables
     customers to use one electronic ticket to travel on the two
     airlines.

Third-quarter and Full-year Year-over-year Outlook

     Based on recent booking trends, the company expects
continued strong revenue growth in the third quarter, although at
levels slightly less than in the second quarter.  Total unit
revenue is expected to rise between 8 percent and 10 percent.
Unit costs are expected to increase 15.1 percent, based on an
average fuel price of 79 cents per gallon.  Excluding fuel, unit
costs are expected to rise 11.8 percent.  The increase reflects
lower-than-planned capacity levels as well as wage increases
associated with the end of the ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership
Plan) allocation period.  Based on the revenue and cost
projections, the company expects third quarter earnings per share
to range between $2.60 and $3.20.
     For the full year, the company now expects fully distributed
earnings per share to range between $8.25 and $9.75, excluding
special charges.

United's second-quarter conference call will be broadcast July 19
                 on united.com at 9:00 a.m. ET.

The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

Some factors that could significantly impact revenues, unit
revenues, unit costs, earnings per share, fully distributed
earnings per share, capacity and the results and benefits of the
pending merger between United and US Airways include, without limitation,
the airline pricing environment; industry capacity decisions;
competitors' route decisions; the inability to obtain regulatory
approvals for the United and US Airways merger; the inability to
successfully integrate the businesses of United and US Airways;
costs related to the United and US Airways merger; the inability
to achieve cost cutting synergies resulting from the United and
US Airways merger; labor integration issues; the success of the
company's cost control efforts; the cost of crude oil and jet
fuel; the success of fuel hedging strategies; the results of
union contract negotiations and their impact on labor costs;
operational disruptions as a result of bad weather, air traffic
control-related difficulties and the impact of labor issues; the
growth of e-commerce and off-tariff distribution channels; the
implementation of customer service improvement strategies;
actions of the U.S., foreign and local governments; foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations; the Pacific economic
environment and travel patterns; the stability of the U.S.
economy; inflation; the economic environment of the airline
industry and the economic environment in general.


n.b.:     While UAL Corporation reports its earnings under GAAP -
- Generally Accepted Accounting Principles -- a more complete
understanding of UAL Corporation's performance may be gained by
viewing the results on a pro forma, fully distributed basis.
This presentation considers all ESOP shares that will be issued
to employees over the course of the ESOP period to be immediately
outstanding, thus "fully distributed."  Consistent with this
presentation, the "ESOP compensation expense" -- which reflects
the commitment of stock to employees -- is excluded from fully
distributed expenses and ESOP convertible preferred stock
dividends are not deducted from earnings attributable to common
stockholders.  As of April 2000, all ESOP preferred shares are
considered earned and outstanding for diluted earnings per share
under GAAP.  Beginning with the third quarter 2000, fully
distributed and GAAP quarterly earnings will be the same;
however, year-to-date results will continue to be reported on a
fully distributed basis in 2000 using the methodology described
above.

Consolidated Notes

(1)  UAL Corporation is a holding company whose
    principal subsidiary is United Air Lines, Inc.

(2)  "ESOP compensation expense" represents the estimated
    average fair value of ESOP convertible preferred stock
    committed to be released to employees for the period,
    net of amounts used to satisfy dividend requirements
    for previously allocated ESOP convertible preferred
    shares, under Employee Stock Ownership Plans.  The
    fair value of ESOP convertible preferred stock is
    estimated based on the market value of UAL's common
    stock.  The average market price of UAL's common stock
    was $58 per share during the second quarter of 2000
    versus $74 per share during the 1999 second quarter.
    The average price during the six-month period ending
    June 30, 2000, was $57 per share versus $69 per share
    for the same six-month period in 1999.  The final ESOP
    compensation expense was recorded in April 2000 as the
    ESOP expired on April 12, 2000.

(3)  Per share amounts were calculated after providing
   for dividends on preferred stock, including ESOP
   convertible preferred stock, of $3 million in the 2000
   second quarter, $32 million in the 1999 second quarter,
   $41 million in the 2000 six-month period ending June 30
   and $63 million in the 1999 six-month period ending June
   30.  Basic per share amounts were based on weighted
   average common shares outstanding.  Diluted per share
   amounts include potential common shares including ESOP
   shares committed to be released.  Average shares used in
   the computations were as follows:

                                     2000       1999

 (5)   During the first quarter of 2000, UAL changed its
   method of accounting for the sale of mileage to
   participating partners in the Mileage Plus program, in
   accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
   "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."  Under
   the new accounting method, a portion of the revenue
   from the sale of mileage is deferred and recognized
   when the transportation is provided.  Accordingly, UAL
   has recorded a charge of $209 million, net of tax, for
   the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
   principle to reflect application of the accounting
   method to prior years.  This change resulted in a
   reduction to revenues of approximately $x million in
   the first six months of 2000 and would have impacted
   the first six months of 1999 revenues by approximately
   $x million.  UAL anticipates full-year 2000 revenues
   to be reduced by approximately $32 million as compared
   to results anticipated under the previous accounting
   method.

(6)    Also during the first quarter, UAL recorded a
   special charge of $26 million, net of tax, associated
   with the write-down and losses related to subleases
   on non-operating British Aerospace Advanced Turbo-
   Prop aircraft previously used in the United Express
   operation.

(7)    During the second quarter, UAL recorded a special
   charge of $15 million, net of tax, for seven leased
   B747-238B aircraft that will continue to be leased
   but will no longer be used for operating purposes
   beginning in October 2000.  In addition, United
   recorded a special charge of $23 million, net of tax,
   for the retirement of the inflight video system on
   certain B777-222 aircraft, which is being replaced by
   an enhanced and more reliable inflight video system.

(8)    In June 1999, United sold 17.5 million shares of
   common stock in Galileo International, Inc. ("Galileo")
   in a secondary offering by Galileo for $766 million.
   This transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of
   approximately $669 million.

   Note:  Revenue and expenses associated with United's

   calculations of unit revenue and unit cost.  However,
   dedicated freighter operations do not increase available
   seat miles, which is used as the denominator in the
   calculation of unit revenue and unit cost.  The inclusion
   of these revenues and expenses do not have a material
   effect on unit revenue and unit cost.

Note:  Revenue and expenses associated with United's dedicated
freighter operations are included in the calculations of unit
revenue and unit cost.  However, dedicated freighter operations
do not increase available seat miles, which is used as the
denominator in the calculation of unit revenue and unit cost.
The inclusion of these revenues and expenses do not have a
material effect on unit revenue and unit cost.
