About United Airlines

United is a founding member of the Star Alliance network. The airline has a rich history in aviation, tracing its roots to 1926 when a small Swallow biplane owned by Walter T. Varney carried airmail to Nevada from Pasco, Washington—a flight that marked the true beginning of commercial air transportation and the birth of United Airlines.
