A bankruptcy court judge Friday in Chicago tentatively approved United Airlines’ schedule to exit Chapter 11 bankruptcy early in 2006.
Judge Eugene Wedoff in the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois approved the plan from UAL Corp., the parent of United, to hold a final confirmation hearing of its bankruptcy plan Jan. 18-20.
The judge said he would allow time to tweak the schedule to accommodate objections to the debtor’s plan.
United, the world’s second-largest carrier behind AMR Corp.’s American Airlines, filed for bankruptcy protection in 2002.
