UAL CORPORATION REPORTS COMPLIANCE WITH

CREDIT AGREEMENT COVENANTS

CHICAGO, April 23, 2008 — On its earnings conference call on April 22, 2008, UAL Corporation (NASDAQ: UAUA), the holding company whose primary subsidiary is United Airlines, reported that, as of March 31, 2008, it was in compliance with the covenants in its Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Guaranty Agreement dated as of February 2, 2007 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citicorp USA, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (the “Amended Credit Facility”).

The Amended Credit Facility requires compliance with certain financial covenants, including maintenance of $750 million in unrestricted cash and a specified minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.  The Amended Credit Facility currently requires a minimum EBITDAR to fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 increasing to a minimum of 1.1 and 1.2 in December 2008 and 2009, respectively.

As of March 31, 2008, the company’s unrestricted cash balance of $2.9 billion and EBITDAR to fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5 were significantly in excess of the above covenant requirements.

In addition, the company has approximately $3.0 billion of unencumbered hard assets which it believes it could use to raise financing and enhance liquidity.
