Key Structural Elements
  Classes Offered: Two tranches of debt offered, both of which will benefit from a liquidity facility
 covering three semi-annual interest payments
  Waterfall: Interest on the Preferred Pool Balance on the Class A Certificates is paid ahead of Class AA
 Certificates’ principal (same as UAL 2014-2)
  Buy-Out Rights: Class A Certificateholders have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of then
 outstanding Class AA Certificates at par plus accrued and unpaid interest upon certain events during a
 United bankruptcy
  Cross-Default: Yes, from day one
  Cross-Collateralization: Yes, from day one
  Collateral: Strategically core aircraft types to United’s fleet operations, delivered new in 2015
  Delayed Delivery Aircraft(1): If one or both of the Boeing 787-9 aircraft scheduled for delivery in
 November 2015 are not delivered on or before the Issuance Date, the related Equipment Notes will be
 secured initially by cash used to purchase the Equipment Notes and a letter of credit in an amount
 sufficient to repay such Equipment Notes. Upon Delivery of a Delayed Delivery Aircraft within 30 days
 after the Issuance Date, United will pledge such aircraft as collateral and the cash and letter of credit
 will be released to United. If a Delayed Delivery Aircraft is not pledged as collateral within such 30 days,
 the related Equipment Notes will be paid in full on the next business day
Note:
1. All references in this presentation to aggregate appraised values of the Aircraft assume that the Delayed Delivery Aircraft are pledged as collateral

Aircraft Appraisals
  United has obtained base value desktop appraisals from three appraisers
 (AISI, BK and mba)
  Aggregate aircraft appraised value of approximately $878 million(1)
 - Appraisals available in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement
  Appraisals indicate a minimum collateral cushion of 61.4% and 49.8% on the
 Class AA and A Certificates respectively(2), which increases over time as the
 Class AA debt amortizes
Notes:
1. Appraised value is the lesser of the mean and median base value of each aircraft as appraised by Aircraft Information Services, Inc. (“AISI”), BK
 Associates, Inc. (“BK”) and Morten Beyer & Agnew, Inc. (“mba”). An appraisal is only an estimate of value and should not be relied upon as a measure of
 realizable value. Appraised value as of October 2015
2. Initial collateral cushion is calculated as of June 1, 2016, the Regular Distribution Date with the Highest LTV as referenced in “Prospectus Supplement
 Summary - Loan to Aircraft Value Ratios” in the preliminary Prospectus Supplement.

Collateral Overview
Boeing 737-900ER
  Overview: The Boeing 737-900ER is the largest variant of the world’s all-time best
 selling 737NG family of narrowbody commercial aircraft. It seats 179 passengers in
 United’s standard two-class configuration (20 First / 159 Economy Plus and Economy)
  Strengths(1):
  U.S. transcontinental range for the Boeing 737-900ER is better than the current
 Airbus 321 (without auxiliary fuel tanks)
  Lowest fuel consumption per seat/seat-mile cost of any twin-engine narrowbody
  501 cumulative orders with 17 customers
  United and Delta have ordered 230 aircraft (130 and 100, respectively) to replace
 Boeing 757s, marking a key win for the aircraft type
  Ease of remarketing to secondary operators due to sole source engine and
 commonality with other 737NG variants
  Importance to United:
  United views the 737-900ER as a good replacement for the aging Boeing 757-200s -
 covers 96% of current 757-200 routes at significantly lower trip cost

Collateral Overview
Boeing 787-9
  Overview: New generation long range aircraft with approximately 5% fewer seats than current Boeing
 777-200ERs in the fleet. The Boeing 787-9 seats 252 passengers in United’s standard two-class
 configuration (48 BusinessFirst / 204 Economy Plus and Economy)
  Strengths(1):
  First Boeing 787-9 flew in September 2013 and was delivered in July 2014 to first customer, Air New
 Zealand
  Strong order book expresses operator enthusiasm. As of September 30, 2015, there are 494
 cumulative orders with 30 customers
  Approximately 20 feet longer and over 50,000lb higher MTOW than the Boeing 787-8 (33 more seats
 than 787-8)
  Improvements to the aircraft include: carbon composite fuselage and wings, health monitoring
 systems that allow the aircraft to self-monitor and new fuel efficient engines
  Composite fuselage is expected to reduce costs over span of aircraft’s useful life
  Delivers up to 20% better fuel burn than the Boeing 767
  Importance to United:
  Increased range of up to 300 nautical miles more than the Boeing 787-8
  Larger payload / passenger count (252 passengers)
  Fills gap between Boeing 787-8 and Boeing 777-200ER
