WASHINGTON (Reuters) - United Airlines said on Friday it is donating $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural committee and said CEO Scott Kirby plans to attend various events over the long holiday weekend.

Kirby will attend dinners on Saturday and Sunday but not the actual inauguration itself that was moved inside due to extreme cold forecasted.

Other major companies donating $1 million to the Trump inaugural fund include Delta Air Lines, Hyundai Motor U.S. unit, Chrysler-parent Stellantis, Boeing, General Motors, Ford Motor, Microsoft, Amazon.com, Alphabet and Facebook-parent Meta.

Many major tech CEOs are also attending inaugural events this weekend.
