United Airlines applauds United States and European Union negotiators for concluding an historic agreement today that will further liberalize the transatlantic market and enable airlines and their alliance partners greater commercial flexibility to better serve their customers.

“United fully supports this important milestone that reinforces the strong bond that exists between the US and EU, promises greater cooperation on environment, security, competition and other important areas and believe it should serve as model in other regions of the world,” said Glenn Tilton, United Airlines chairman and CEO. “United applauds negotiators on both sides of the Atlantic for their leadership and vision.”
