CHICAGO, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Airlines today said
reports that the company filed for bankruptcy are completely untrue and
were caused by the irresponsible posting of a 6-year-old Chicago Tribune
article by the Florida Sun Sentinel newspaper website with the date
changed. The story was related to United's 2002 bankruptcy filing, and
United has demanded a retraction from the Sun Sentinel and is launching an
investigation. United exited bankruptcy in February 2006.
United continues to execute its previously announced business plan to
successfully navigate through an environment marked by volatile fuel prices
and continues to have strong liquidity.
