United Airlines
United Continental Holdings, Inc. is the holding company for United Airlines and Continental Airlines. Together with United Express, Continental Express and Continental Connection, these airlines operate a total of approximately 5,675 flights a day to 372 airports on six continents from their hubs in Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Guam, Houston, Los Angeles, New York/Newark Liberty, San Francisco, Tokyo and Washington, D.C. United and Continental are members of Star Alliance, which offers 21,000 daily flights to 1,160 airports in 181 countries. The company's corporate and operational headquarters are located in Chicago, and it maintains a significant presence in Houston, the company's largest hub. United and Continental’s more than 80,000 employees reside in every U.S. state and in many countries around the world.
On Oct. 1, 2010, United and Continental closed their previously announced all-stock “merger of equals” transaction to create the world’s leading airline. The new United offers customers an enhanced travel experience, combining the best products and services each carrier has to offer. The airline is focused on being the airline customers want to fly, the airline employees want to work for and the airline shareholders want to invest in.
Travelers will begin experiencing a more unified product in the spring of 2011, as the carriers begin to align key customer services, marketing activities and airport processes. United and Continental will continue to operate separately until the company receives a single operating certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration that will allow it to operate under a common set of manuals and procedures, which is expected to take at least a year.
