Helon Hammond, United Airlines Managing Director of Technical Operations & Maintenance Systems Technology, said 24 hours before a traveler’s trip to Houston, United will present the “Buy Black in Houston” resource on the airline’s app so people can search and shop with small, black-owned Houston-area businesses.

The airline will also have magazines on planes where travelers can read about certain local black-owned businesses.
