The merger completed in October 2010.
In 2017 United Airlines was at the centre of a public outcry when a doctor passenger was forcibly removed from a sold-out aircraft, dragged by his arms down the aisle and sustained injuries as a result of his treatment. Passenger complaints increased by 70% following the incident, a film of which went viral on social media.
In its full year 2017 financial results, United Airlines reported full-year net income of $2.1 billion, diluted earnings per share of $7.02, pre-tax earnings of $3.0 billion and pre-tax margin of 7.9%. The company said that over the course of the year, United “consistently notched operational bests in on-time arrivals and completions while seeing the fewest cancellations and the best baggage performance in company history”.
In January 2018, United announced plans to expand by adding between 4% and 6% to its passenger capacity each year through 2020. The announcement caused all U.S. airline stocks to drop.
