“The Olympians and Paralympians on Team USA work as a team to excel in their sports, set records, and bring home the gold. It’s that same dedication and teamwork that our own United employees put forward every day to connect hundreds of thousands of our customers to the moments that matter most to them,” said Andrew Nocella, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial officer at United.
The carrier has been the official airline of Team USA for close to 40 years, flying athletes, and their equipment and gear, to competitions around the globe. United maintains reservations agents dedicated to Team USA and their travel needs.
