Whether helping displaced persons or providing our customers the opportunity to donate miles, we are committed to contributing to disaster relief efforts.

China earthquake relief support
As a global airline, we touch the lives of people all over the world every day. With this privilege comes a sense of responsibility to our employees, our customers, our partners and the communities we serve. On May 12, a powerful earthquake struck Sichuan province in southwestern China, killing thousands of people. This earthquake has had a devastating impact on the lives and livelihood of millions of people. Some of us also have friends and relatives that have been impacted by this disaster.

There has been an outpouring of concern and interest in helping with the relief effort. Our customers can assist the response effort by contributing through the American Red Cross to the China Earthquake Relief Fund.

Due to overwhelming support, within one day of the bonus mile offer to our Mileage Plus customers, we reached our maximum contribution of 5 million miles from the United Airlines Foundation (Mileage Plus® customers who donated $50 USD or more, received 500 miles as a one-time bonus). As a result, the bonus mile offer is no longer applicable.

We thank those who already contributed as part of the bonus mile offer and encourage our customers to continue to donate to the American Red Cross to support the China earthquake relief efforts.

Prior United Airlines' relief efforts have included:

• Hurricane Katrina Relief Initiatives
• Southeast Asian Tsunami Relief
