United Airlines sells passenger air travel—primarily long-haul and international routes—through a hub-and-spoke network centered on seven US hubs. Customers are leisure and business travelers, with a meaningful mix of premium and corporate traffic, especially on trans-Pacific routes. Revenue comes from ticket sales, ancillary fees (baggage, seat upgrades), cargo, and loyalty program partnerships with co-branded credit cards.
