United Airlines is an American airline headquartered in Chicago, Illinois offering flights for North America, Asia, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Europe. United Air Lines was established In 1931, gradually expanding from domestic flights in the early 1930’s to international destinations after World War II. United Air Lines changed its name to United Airlines after 1975.  A merger with Capital Airlines in 1961 followed by the acquiring of Pan American in 1986 allowed United Airlines to offer more destinations, becoming one of the largest airline carriers in the U.S.
