United Airlines is giving out face masks as part of a new amenity kit for passengers in the age of Covid-19.
“Starting today, we are providing a little amenity kit,” United Chief Executive Officer Oscar Munoz said Monday on Bloomberg Television’s Leadership Live. “It will be a little amenity kit that has a snack, a water and some hand wipes for you as you enter the aircraft, along with a mask if you need it.”
The package is branded as “United Clean Plus,” said Munoz, who will become executive chairman after handing the CEO job to United President Scott Kirby this week. United started requiring passengers to use face coverings earlier this month, joining a rush by most U.S. carriers. Separately, Australia’s Qantas Airways said it would also provide masks on board.
Here are other key takeaways from Munoz’s Leadership Live interview with David Rubenstein:
