The CEO of United Airlines, Scott Kirby, has apologised for his use of a private aircraft to travel between Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and Denver International Airport in Colorado.

“Taking a private aircraft was a bad decision, as it was insensitive to our customers waiting to fly home. I sincerely apologize to the passengers and team members who worked around the clock for several days to take care of customers”, said Kirby over the week-end.

An airline spokesperson explained Kirby’s use of a private plane, which he flew on Wednesday 28 June and paid for out-of-pocket, on the grounds that the manager failed to secure a seat aboard a commercial flight operated by United Airlines, which cancelled more than 750 scheduled flights Wednesday alone , according to FlightAware data.All rights reserved.
