United Airlines Holdings Inc Chief Executive Officer Scott Kirby said that 98.5% of its US-based employees have been vaccinated against Covid-19.
The carrier expects to see vaccine totals “north of 99%†when it tallies final figures for how many employees have complied with its mandate to be vaccinated or face termination.
United had set a September 27 deadline for all US-based workers to receive at least an initial dose of one of the two-shot, US-approved Covid-19 vaccines or the single Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Kirby says the airline has banned 700 passengers to date for not wearing a mask in airports and in flight as required by federal rules.
Kirby spoke at a live event sponsored by The Atlantic magazine.
