   United Reinstates Nonstop Service Between Chicago and Honolulu   
   Monday February 23, 2:15 pm ET   
   With Addition, United to Offer Customers Nonstop Service to Hawaii From Four   
   U.S. Hubs   
      
   CHICAGO, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Airlines (OTC Bulletin   
   Board: UALAQ - News) today announced that it is reinstating its daily   
   nonstop service between Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) and   
   Honolulu (HNL), effective June 3, 2004. Flights will be available for   
   booking on February 24, 2004.   
   "United is thrilled to once again offer our customers nonstop service from   
   Chicago, our hometown and largest hub, to one of the nation's top vacation   
   destinations," said John Tague, executive vice president - Customer, United   
   Airlines. "This flight will answer the call from our customers in the   
   Chicagoland area for daily, nonstop access to the beaches and sunshine of   
   Hawaii. It will also give our customers in the eastern U.S. another option   
   for convenient, one-stop service to the Islands."   
      
   United's announcement of this new service follows an announcement earlier   
   this month that it would begin flying a second daily nonstop flight between   
   Tokyo, Japan, and Honolulu in June 2004.   
      
   United will fly daily between Chicago and Honolulu with a Boeing 777   
   aircraft configured with 36 seats in first class and 312 seats in economy   
   class. UA001 will leave ORD at 1015 and arrive at HNL at 1345. The return   
   leg, UA002, will depart HNL at 1625 and arrive at ORD at 0515.   
      
   "This was a popular flight among many Hawaii residents and visitors, so   
   we're very pleased travelers will once again have this option," said   
   Governor Linda Lingle of Hawaii. "The resumption of nonstop service between   
   Honolulu and Chicago is good news for visitors from the Midwest and those   
   connecting from the East Coast. As Hawaii's visitor market continues to   
   strengthen, the addition of flights such as this will help meet demand."   
      
   The new Chicago service will complement United's existing service to Hawaii   
   from its other hubs in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Denver. With 24 daily,   
   nonstop flights from three hub cities in the U.S. to four Hawaiian   
   Islands -- Oahu, Maui, Hawaii and Kauai -- United offers the most flights   
   between the mainland U.S. and Hawaii. United also offers daily, nonstop   
   service between Honolulu and both Tokyo and Osaka.   
      
   United has been serving Hawaii since 1947.   
      
   United, United Express and Ted operate more than 3,400 flights a day on a   
   route network that spans the globe. News releases and other information
