United and Continental to Merge

Boards of Directors reportedly have approved joining of two airline giants

According to ChicagoBreakingBusiness.com, on Monday (tomorrow) United and Continental will officially announce a consummation of their courtship and become one -- the one being the world's largest airline, which is to be called United. Overlapping but not duplicate route systems and complementary corporate cultures are reportedly the benefits of this marriage of two airline giants. The corporate headquarters of the combined carrier will move its operations from Houston to Chicago's Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), but Houston will become its biggest hub. Stay tuned for more information.
