UAL Corporation ("UAL") and its representatives from time to time
participate in speeches and calls with market analysts,
conferences with investors and potential investors of UAL and
United Air Lines, Inc. securities, and other meetings and
conferences.

Some of the information presented in such speeches, calls,
meetings and conferences may be forward-looking and involves
risks and uncertainties that could result in actual results
differing materially from expected results.  It is not reasonably
possible to itemize all of the many factors and specific events
that could affect the outlook of an airline operating in the
global economy.  Some factors that could significantly impact
expected capacity, traffic, load factors, yields, revenues, unit
revenues, expenses, costs, unit costs, capital spending, cash
flows, pre-tax margins, earnings, earnings per share and price to
earnings ratios include the airline pricing environment, industry
capacity decisions, the effect of the U.S. excise tax on travel,
the success of the company's cost reduction efforts, the cost of
crude oil and jet fuel, the cost of security and safety measures,
low-fare carrier expansion, actions of the U.S., foreign and
local governments, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations,
the Asian economic environment and travel patterns, the price of
UAL common stock, the timing of the Company's common stock
repurchase program, inflation, the timing of aircraft deliveries
from manufacturers, the economic environment of the airline
industry, and the economic environment in general.
