United Airlines installs 500 airport charging stations


United Airlines this month began installing nearly 500 electronics charging stations in customer-seating areas at many U.S. airports, beginning with its hometown airport Chicago O’Hare International Airport, the airline said Thursday.
O’Hare will be outfitted with more than 110 of the new charging stations in concourses B and C, the airline said. Each new charging station offers access to six, 110-volt power outlets and two USB ports.

Other airports slated to get new charging stations are its hubs in Houston, Los Angeles, Newark and Washington Dulles, as well as New York LaGuardia and Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans.
 
"Our customers have told us they depend on their electronic devices to stay productive and connected at 35,000 feet, and that requires a full battery," said Jimmy Samartzis, United’s vice president of customer experience.
