(1)  Pursuant to Rule 457(h) and 457(c), the registration fee
was calculated based on the average of the high and low prices of
the Registrant's Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange,
Inc. on March 25, 1997.


     On February 27, 1997, the Board of Directors of UAL
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), approved the
sale of shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"),
of the Company from treasury in lieu of all or a portion of the
after-tax incentive compensation in cash for 1996 to certain executive
officers of the Company (collectively, the "Officers") pursuant to
the terms of the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan and an employment
agreement.

     Each of the Officers has agreed to accept some or all of his
incentive compensation in Common Stock of equivalent value in lieu of
cash.  The number of shares of the Common Stock to be issued for the
Officers specifying a percentage of incentive compensation amount has
been determined by dividing the portion of the incentive compensation
to be taken in stock by the closing price of the Common Stock on the
New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on February 27, 1997.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.
         -------------------------

         Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
         --------------------------------------

         Not Applicable.


Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
         -----------------------------------------

     Limitation of Liability of Directors

          The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that no director of the Company will be personally
liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages
for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law ("DGCL") or (iv) for any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.

          The above provision is intended to afford directors
additional protection and limit their potential liability from
suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director.  As a
result of the inclusion of such a provision, stockholders may be
unable to recover monetary damages against directors for actions
taken by them that constitute negligence or gross negligence or
that are otherwise in violation of their fiduciary duty of care,
although it may be possible to obtain injunctive or other
equitable relief with respect to such actions.  If equitable
remedies are found not to be available to stockholders in any
particular situation, stockholders may not have an effective
remedy against a director in connection with such conduct.

     Indemnification of Directors and Officers

          The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that directors and officers of the Company shall be
indemnified against liabilities arising from their service as
directors and officers to the full extent permitted by law.

          Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.

          Section 145 also empowers a corporation to indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by
or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation
and except that no such indemnification may be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless, and only to
the extent that, the Court of Chancery or the court in which such
action was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of
Chancery shall deem proper.

          Section 145 further provides that to the extent that a
director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith; that indemnification
provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and
that the corporation has the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted
against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising
out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would
have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under
Section 145.

          The Company has purchased directors' and officers'
liability insurance covering certain liabilities incurred by its
directors and officers in connection with the performance of
their duties.

Item 9.   Undertakings.
          ------------

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

  (a)(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:

          (i) To include any prospectus required by Section
     10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
     arising after the effective date of the registration
     statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
     thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
     a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
     registration statement;

          (iii) To include any material information with respect
     to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
     registration statement or any material change to such
     information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of
this section do not apply if the registration statement is on
Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.

     (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

  (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

  (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

the terms of the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan and an employment
agreement.

     Each of the Officers has agreed to accept some or all of his
incentive compensation in Common Stock of equivalent value in lieu of
cash.  The number of shares of the Common Stock to be issued for the
Officers specifying a percentage of incentive compensation amount has
been determined by dividing the portion of the incentive compensation
to be taken in stock by the closing price of the Common Stock on the
New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on February 27, 1997.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.
         -------------------------

         Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
         --------------------------------------

         Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
         -----------------------------------------

     Limitation of Liability of Directors

          The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that no director of the Company will be personally
liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages
for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law ("DGCL") or (iv) for any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.

          The above provision is intended to afford directors
additional protection and limit their potential liability from
suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director.  As a
result of the inclusion of such a provision, stockholders may be
unable to recover monetary damages against directors for actions
taken by them that constitute negligence or gross negligence or
that are otherwise in violation of their fiduciary duty of care,
although it may be possible to obtain injunctive or other
equitable relief with respect to such actions.  If equitable
remedies are found not to be available to stockholders in any
particular situation, stockholders may not have an effective
remedy against a director in connection with such conduct.

     Indemnification of Directors and Officers

          The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that directors and officers of the Company shall be
indemnified against liabilities arising from their service as
directors and officers to the full extent permitted by law.

          Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.

          Section 145 also empowers a corporation to indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by
or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation
and except that no such indemnification may be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless, and only to
the extent that, the Court of Chancery or the court in which such
action was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of
Chancery shall deem proper.

          Section 145 further provides that to the extent that a
director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith; that indemnification
provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and
that the corporation has the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted
against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising
out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would
have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under
Section 145.

          The Company has purchased directors' and officers'
liability insurance covering certain liabilities incurred by its
directors and officers in connection with the performance of
their duties.

Item 9.   Undertakings.
          ------------

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

  (a)(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:

          (i) To include any prospectus required by Section
     10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
     arising after the effective date of the registration
     statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
     thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
     a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
     registration statement;

          (iii) To include any material information with respect
     to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
     registration statement or any material change to such
     information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of
this section do not apply if the registration statement is on
Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.

     (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

  (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

  (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

                          ----------

to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in Elk Grove Township, Illinois, on this 27th day of
February, 1997.
