Oscar Munoz, chief executive of United Continental Holdings Inc., is recuperating well from his Wednesday heart transplant surgery and likely to make a quick recovery and a return to his duties, his physicians said.
“The transplanted heart is functioning very well,” Duc Pham, director of the Northwestern Medicine Heart Transplant Program, said in a statement from the airline. Munoz is expected to return at the end of the current quarter or the beginning of the next, the company said.
