twitterDebt payment delayed
Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2002 | 11:15 a.m.
CHICAGO -- Scrambling to avoid bankruptcy, United Airlines on Monday delayed paying back a $375 million debt for 10 days.
United's parent company exercised the option of extending repayment until Dec. 12 on aircraft-backed securities to the German bank Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau.
The airline also exercised grace periods on the repayment of other debt obligations, including a $500 million debt to the German bank, plus $45 million in various smaller debts, for debts totaling $920 million.
News of a second machinists' vote on wage concessions and wiggle room for the debt payment lifted UAL stock. Shares rose 83 cents, or 34 percent, to close at $3.28 Monday on the New York Stock Exchange.
