It's our one-year anniversary! A year ago, we announced our commitment to be 100% green by 2050 without relying on traditional carbon offsets. One year later, we've made big moves to build a more sustainable airline. ✅ We've committed to purchasing 2x the rest of the world’s airlines publicly announced sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) commitments combined. ✅ We’ve remained committed to investing in carbon capture and sequestration as a key pathway to achieving our climate goals. ✅ We've brought together nearly 30 corporate and cargo customers to collectively contribute to the future purchase of 7.1 million gallons of SAF. ✅ We’ve made investments in 0% carbon aircraft electric taxis from Archer and ES-19 planes from Heart Aerospace to help us get to net-zero travel before competitors. ✅ We’ve ordered new planes —270 to be exact — that will reduce CO2 emissions by 14% per seat. ✅ We made history with the first passenger flight using 100% SAF to prove that there are no operational differences so that we can continue our work to scale SAF use in our fleet and make an even bigger impact (behind-the-scenes of this historic flight ⬇️ ). From electric planes, to new planes (👋 737MAX), to carbon capture and SAF, we're building the future of sustainable flight. united.com/100green

I wish I was on this historic flight! Brands are not about their logos but for their actions. I started flying UNITED almost exclusively since 1991 due to my company’s travel policy. Not a big deal, all the major US airlines were about equally mediocre with very little innovation. (But, at least they had a huge fleet of 747’s unlike DL or AA. Today when I fly UNITED for business (or pleasure) it is an entirely “brand” new airline! Innovations and daring (but great) moves, such as the supersonic “Overture” order for 50 new fangled “Concorde’s” with extremely low carbon emissions and awesome new routes. They in turn support your new version of the globe “branding”- and I like the touch of green, add it to more branding once eco fuels are more spread across the fleet. Congrats!

It was a pleasure to help United fly the world's first commercial passenger flight using 100% drop in SAF. The flight was smooth and the aircraft, engines, and fuel operated flawlessly. Great work all and looking forward to the future!

Currently, 6% of all U.S. pilots are women and 6% are people of color. Our new flight school is going to change that: 80% of the inaugural class of future pilots at United Aviate Academy (UAA) identify as women or people of color. Dana Donati, CEO of UAA, is one of the few women in America to run a flight school that is in her words, "...changing the face of aviation." #WomensHistoryMonth #InternationalWomensDay

In their words, "We allow United to be more than just a logo in Black spaces, but to help create an authentic connection to Black people, culture and communities." For Black History Month, BEACON honored trailblazing Black aviators, recognized our colleagues for going above and beyond to support Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at United and gave us a reason to be optimistic about our future as people committed to change for the better.

Some BEACON highlights from this month and 2021: - Juneteenth flight from Houston to Chicago crewed entirely by Black employees. - Chicago’s Bud Billiken Parade, the largest parade celebrating Black people in the country, where BEACON marched and donated 500 backpacks filled with school supplies. - Mural unveiling at Denver International Airport, created by United Supervisor, Operations Control Philip V. - A trip to Accra, Ghana to deliver essential goods to a school and orphanage. - BEACON’s Excellence Awards where we honored employees who were peer-nominated for their contributions and support of DEI at United.
