JOINT APPLICATION OF

UNITED AIR LINES, INC., CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC., CONTINENTAL MICRONESIA,

INC. AND AIR MICRONESIA, INC. FOR REISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES AND OTHER

ECONOMIC AUTHORITIES AND REGISTRATION OF TRADE NAME

United Air Lines, Inc. (“United”), Continental Airlines, Inc. (“Continental”), Continental

Micronesia, Inc. (“Continental Micronesia”) and Air Micronesia, Inc. (“Air Micronesia”)

(collectively, the “Joint Applicants”) notify the Department, pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 215.4, of an

upcoming corporate name change of Continental to “United Airlines, Inc.”, apply for reissuance

of their certificates of public convenience and necessity and economic and other authorities to

reflect this name change, and request that the trade name “Continental” be registered for use in

their operations as may be needed during the completion of their merger and integration process.

Pending final action on this application, the Joint Applicants respectfully request that the

Department grant them authorization – on a pendente lite basis – to begin using the new

corporate name and requested trade name effective on or about March 31, 2013.

The Joint Applicants state as follows in support of their application:

1. The Joint Applicants collectively hold various interstate and foreign certificate

and other economic authorities, including exemptions, statements of authorization, frequency
Joint Application of United, Continental,

Continental Micronesia and Air Micronesia

Page 2

allocations, designations and related authorities.1To facilitate the merger of United and

Continental into a single legal entity using the brand name United, the Department, by Order

2011-3-14: (1) granted the request of the Joint Applicants for approval of a transfer of their route

authorities under Section 41105 of Title 49 of the United States Code; (2) transferred and

amended the interstate and foreign scheduled certificates and certain other economic authorities

held by the Joint Applicants; and (3) amended certain grants of antitrust immunity issued to

United and Continental.

2. On or about March 31, 2013, as the final step in their approved merger process

that was contemplated by the route transfer order, United plans to merge into Continental as the

surviving legal entity,2 which will change its corporate name from “Continental Airlines, Inc.” to

“United Airlines, Inc.” and remain wholly owned by United Continental Holdings, Inc.3The

change in corporate name will not constitute a substantial change as defined by 14 C.F.R. §

205.6 and will not affect the Joint Applicants’ operations, ownership, or management. The

Department recently conducted a fitness review of the Joint Applicants and found that they

remain fit to conduct operations as U.S. certificated air carriers. See Order 2011-3-14 at 5, n. 9.

The Joint Applicants also request, pursuant to Rule 24 of the Department’s Rules of Practice,

1

The list of United/Continental authorities appears in Attachment A, the list of

United/Continental/Continental Micronesia authorities appears in Attachment B, and the list of

United/Continental/Continental Micronesia/Air Micronesia authorities appears in Attachment C.

2

The Department recognized in the route transfer order that “since Continental and

United intend to merge into a single entity, and the certificates and other economic authorities

are being transferred and amended to facilitate the merger, a de jure transfer has taken place.”

Order 2011-3-14 n. 9.

3 United and Continental also plan to ask FAA to amend their single operating

certificate on the effective date of the merger to show only the surviving legal entity as the

certificate holder. United will provide the Department with copies of the amended FAA

certificate and relevant Delaware Secretary of State certifications following consummation of

these transactions.
Joint Application of United, Continental,

Continental Micronesia and Air Micronesia

Page 3

that the Department take official notice of all information and data that have been filed to

establish their fitness.

3. To reflect this corporate name change, the Joint Applicants request that: (1) the

authorities listed on Attachment A be reissued in the name of “United Airlines, Inc.”; (2) the

authorities listed on Attachment B be reissued in the name of “United Airlines, Inc. and/or

Continental Micronesia, Inc.”; and (3) the authorities listed on Attachment C be reissued in the

name of “United Airlines, Inc., Continental Micronesia, Inc. and/or Air Micronesia, Inc.”4In

addition, because the Joint Applicants anticipate that they may need to use the Continental name

for an undefined period of time as they complete this transition and the merger and integration

process, they also ask that the Department register the “Continental” trade name for use in their

operations to the extent it may be necessary to do so.5

4. The Joint Applicants request expedited treatment of this Joint Application on a

pendente lite basis so that they may continue to facilitate parallel processes with foreign

authorities, and as consistent with the Department’s treatment of such applications involving

similar corporate name changes. See, e.g., Orders 2012-1-3 (ExpressJet); 2006-12-20 (National

Air Cargo); and 2003-6-3 (ATA).

5. Upon consummation of the transactions described in this Joint Application, the

Joint Applicants will each submit copies of a new OST Form 4523 reflecting the name change

4

This will permit “United Airlines, Inc.” to continue operating Air Micronesia’s

and Continental Micronesia’s routes. See Order 2011-3-14 at 6.

5 United and Continental currently have reciprocal registrations for each other’s

trade names (i.e., “Continental” and “United”, respectively) as well as for “Continental

Micronesia”. See Notices of Trade Name Registration issued to United and Continental on

September 30, 2010 (undocketed).
