Intern - Airport Operations Safety Strategy (Summer 2025)

Description

Early careers take off with United! We've been recognized as both a top employer for Gen Z talent by Handshake and a top 100 internship program by Yellow and WayUp.

Our program is designed to empower you with the skills and connections necessary to launch a successful career. We hope you join us at United, where your contributions will take flight and your career journey will soar.



At United, we fly into airports around the entire world. And we need a whole team of people to keep things running in tip-top shape. From the check-in counter to the departure gate, and even behind the scenes, our Airport Operations team keeps operations at our airports running smoothly every single day.



During your summer experience, you will be fully immersed into our collaborative culture that is built on diversity of thought. Our teams will be looking for your curiosity and your unique point of view. Our operations internship provides hands-on, real-world experience. As an intern with United, you are more than a student - you are a member of our team. Throughout the course of the program, interns will be responsible to their respective work location, but there may also be opportunities or projects that have heavy emphasis or travel to other hub or line station cities within our network. Additionally, valuable training, facility tours, airport experiences and other benefits are what make United Airlines the premier company to intern for.
