Continental Airlines

Continental Airlines, simply known as Continental, was a major airline in the United States that operated from 1934 until 2012, when it merged with United Airlines. It had ownership interests and brand partnerships with several carriers.

However, deregulation in 1978 changed the competitive landscape and realities.

In 1981, Texas International Airlines acquired a controlling interest in Continental. The companies were merged in 1982, moved to Houston, and grew into one of the country's largest carriers despite facing financial and labor issues, eventually becoming one of the more successful airlines in the United States. Continental and United Airlines merged in an $8.5 billion all-stock merger of equals on October 1, 2010.
