September 23, 2004

Motion for an Extension of Confidentiality Period

Hereby requests the Department grant United an extension, until December 31, 2006, of the confidentiality period granted (or previously requested) with respect to certain airframe and aircraft engine cost data reported in (a) our annual Form 41 Schedules B-43 for the years 1992 through 1996, and (b) our quarterly Form 41 Schedules B-7 for the quarters ended December 31, 1992 through December 31, 1996.

The information for which this confidentiality extension is sought detail United's acquisition cost and sales realization amounts with respect to new and used aircraft and aircraft engines, each broken down by model, individual serial number, and individual purchase or sale prices for the period 1992-96. This information is substantially similar to and consistent with other aircraft/engine price information for which United continued to consistently seek confidentiality after 1996 up to the present. Most of the confidential price information relates to acquisitions made under Boeing and Airbus aircraft acquisition agreements whose delivery dates began in the early 1990's and extended up to the present. As a result, our 747s delivered in 1994, for example, have aircraft/engine prices which are the same as the prices of the later delivered 747s, except for some minor changes due to price escalation provisions and any minor configuration changes. Therefore, the disclosure of the aircraft/engine price information for 1992-96 would result in the effective disclosure of the similar price information relating to the later filed years.

Motion to Withhold Information from Public Disclosure

Pursuant to Rule 39(e) of the Department of Transportation, Office of the Secretary Procedural Rules, United Air Lines, Inc. hereby files this Motion to Withhold From Public Disclosure the information contained in a sealed envelope and captioned Schedule B-7 Airframe and Aircraft Engine Acquisitions and Retirements and delivered to the Office of Aviation Transportation Management. This information is provided pursuant to Part 241 of the Department's Economic Regulations, 14 CFR 241, and is part of Form 41 Schedule B-7 for Period Ended June 30, 2005.

The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure details United's acquisition cost and sales realization amounts with respect to new and used aircraft and aircraft engines, each broken down by model, individual serial number, and individual purchase or sale prices.

United considers the requested information deleted from Schedule B-7 to be highly sensitive and confidential.

Motion to Withhold Information from Public Disclosure

United hereby files this Motion to Withhold From Public Disclosure the information contained in a sealed envelope and captioned Schedule B-7 Airframe and Aircraft Engine Acquisitions and Retirements for a period of not less than ten years.

The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure details United’s acquisition cost and sales realization amounts with respect to new and used aircraft and aircraft engines, each broken down by model, individual serial number, and individual purchase or sale prices. United considers the requested information deleted from Schedule B-7 to be highly sensitive and confidential.

Motion to Withhold Information from Public Disclosure - Schedule B-7

United hereby files this Motion to Withhold From Public Disclosure the information contained in a sealed envelope and captioned Schedule B-7 Airframe and Aircraft Engine Acquisitions and Retirements.

The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure details United's acquisition cost and sales realization amounts with respect to new and used aircraft and aircraft engines, each broken down by model, individual serial number, and individual purchase or sale prices.

United considers the requested information deleted from Schedule B-7 to be highly sensitive and confidential. The air transportation industry, both domestically and internationally, has become highly competitive. Aircraft ownership costs are a major cost of doing business for all certificated carriers. A carrier's ability to reduce its aircraft ownership costs relative to its competitors can, therefore, provide a carrier a significant competitive advantage. In an effort to secure such an advantage, United applies considerable management resources to trying to reduce its aircraft ownership costs. This includes devoting substantial resources to trying to obtain airframes and engines at the lowest possible acquisition cost and disposing of these assets at the highest possible sales price. Moreover, the negotiations for new equipment are made more difficult by the fact that there are only three manufacturers of large jet airframes and only three of large jet engines. However, as long as the Department makes available to the public United's acquisition cost for each airframe and engine it acquires and the sales proceeds realized on each sale of such equipment, United is denied the benefit of these efforts, harming United commercially.
