In an effort to expand and diversify their air and booking services United Airlines is catering to the production crews in the entertainment industry - called the 'United for Business Entertainment'.
United works with film and television production crews, assisting with logistics, crew and equipment placement, obtaining local people to assist crews in remote and foreign locations - all delivered at reasonable cost.
According to Jon Purpura, director of UA's Entertainment Sales, "supporting film makers and producers in telling their stories is important to us and sets UA apart."
UA has continued to expand its locations worldwide. For example, it's the only U.S. carrier to fly to Mongolia and other less-served locations like Greenland, Faro Islands, Dakar, Madeira etc. If not a direct flight, United has a network of 25 partner airlines that offer flights to more than 1,150 destinations in 189 countries.
UA has developed a niche and very profitable sub-business with offering the entertainment industry a unique service. Getting production crews, cast members, and equipment to worldwide destinations is an essential part of the movie production process.
