         UAL CORPORATION EXPECTS LOWER THIRD-QUARTER EARNINGS

  The company expects third quarter 2000 earnings per share to be
         below the previously announced $2.60 to $3.20 range.

     CHICAGO, Aug. 17, 2000 -- UAL Corporation (NYSE: UAL), the
holding company whose primary subsidiary is United Airlines, today
announced that it expects third-quarter earnings per share to be lower
than the $2.60 to $3.20 range it announced on July 19, 2000.
     Speaking to the situation, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
James E. Goodwin said, "Although booking patterns remained strong
through early August despite poor operating performance, booking
levels have since fallen on the adverse publicity surrounding the
cancellations that occurred in early August.  While our operating
performance has improved somewhat, the reduced booking levels
continue, and as a result, revenues are not as strong as we had
previously anticipated.  Furthermore, the uncertainty surrounding the
variable nature of factors affecting the situation, such as labor
relations, crew-related issues and weather, preclude us from
confidently projecting results at this point for the quarter or the
full year."
     "We are focused and committed to resolving the causes of this
difficult operating situation that has not only greatly inconvenienced
our customers but many of our employees as well."

customer service improvement strategies; actions of the U.S., foreign
and local governments; the stability of the U.S. economy; the economic
environment of the airline industry and the economic environment in
general.
