Apple is in early talks with United Airlines to help revamp the carrier's terminal at San Francisco International Airport.

Officials from the tech giant have toured the airline's baggage hold, customer service areas and lobbies at the hub - with a view to transforming the airport experience.

United Airlines occupies Terminal 3 at the airport, where it operates 325 flights every day.

The airline's chief digital officer, Linda Jojo, confirmed that discussions had been taking place with Apple but refused to provide any more details.

She said: 'I’m being deliberately vague.'

Apple declined to comment on the development.

News of a possible revamp of the terminal comes months after leaked data showed that Apple is the carrier's top corporate client.

It reportedly books a staggering 50 business class seats a day on United's route from San Francisco to Shanghai. These usually cost around $2,500 (£2,000).

The US-based carrier revealed that Apple spends $150million (£115million) each year on flights, with San Francisco to Shanghai accounting for $35million (£27million), or 25 per cent, of the tech company's spend with the airline.

It is thought that Shanghai is the most popular destination for Apple as it is the hub for connecting flights to Shenzhen and Zhengzhou, where the tech giant has factories.

Apple has also supplied United with iPad tablet computers in the past.

However, it also has deals with United rivals such as American Airlines to let Apple Music customers listen to streamed music on its planes without purchasing in-flight WiFi.
