United/Continental

This item appears on page 44 of the December 2010 issue.

United Airlines and Continental Airlines will be using a new logo after the merger of the two airlines in early 2011. The logo will incorporate the name “United” and Continental’s globe image.

The airlines’ frequent-flyer programs are set to merge in 2011 as well, but the joining of the companies’ reservation systems and websites will be delayed until 2012.
