The horrific incident on flight 3411 at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport continues to haunt United Airlines, the wholly owned subsidiary of United Continental Holdings (NYSE:UAL) . In a bid to make up for the misbehavior, the carrier has offered to refund all the 70 passengers on board the infamous flight.

On Apr 9, a passenger (David Dao, a 69 year old doctor of Asian origin) on the overbooked flight 3411 was forcefully removed after he refused to voluntarily give up his seat and get off the plane. Given that the flight was overbooked and United Airlines needed to make room for four of its crew members, the carrier initially asked for volunteers from among the paid passengers to get off the plane.
