United launches first all-electric gate-to-gate airport transfers

Sunday, 27 Oct, 2022 0

United Airlines and Jaguar North America have teamed up for the first gate-to-gate airport transfer service using an all-electric fleet in the US.

Starting this month at Chicago O’Hare, select MileagePlus Premier members can enjoy chauffeured rides between their connecting aircraft in a 2023 Jaguar I-PACE HSE, the first all-electric performance SUV from Jaguar.

The vehicles will go into service at United hubs in Denver, Houston, Newark/New York, Washington D.C, San Francisco and Los Angeles by the end of the year.

These SUVs are expected to make an estimated 60 trips per day and transfer more than 1,000 United customers daily.

“The new United-Jaguar ground transfer program offers travelers a moment of luxury and ease, while also raising sustainability standards for the airline industry,” said Marketing & Loyalty VP and MileagePlus President Luc Bondar.

United’s ground transfer service is a surprise benefit for select Premier MileagePlus members with tight connections at the air carrier’s US hub airports.

A member will be informed upon landing at the airport, where they’re greeted by a specialist Premier Services agent.

Every 2023 I-PACE features Amazon Alexa connectivity and wireless device charging.
