on the 15th day of April, 2013

Joint application of 

CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC.,

AIR MICRONESIA, INC., and

UNITED AIR LINES, INC.

for reissuance of certificates and other economic authorities and 

registration of trade name

Docket DOT-OST-2013-0032 

ERRATUM

On March 28, 2013, the Department issued Order 2013-3-14 reissuing the certificates and 

other economic authorities held by Continental Airlines, Inc., Continental Micronesia, 

Inc., Air Micronesia, Inc. (collectively, “Continental”), and United Air Lines, Inc. 

(“United”), collectively, the “Joint Applicants, to facilitate a merger between Continental 

and United.

Subsequent to the issuance of the order, the Joint Applicants advised the Department that 

certain information reflected in the order, particularly with respect to the list of foreign 

authorities, was inaccurate. Consequently, we find it appropriate to remove Order 

2013-3-14 from the docket and replace the original reissuance order with the attached 

corrected copy, which reflects all of the appropriate corrections. 

We will serve a copy of this order on all interested parties.

on the 15th day of April, 2013

Joint application of 

CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC.,

CONTINENTAL MICRONESIA, INC.,

AIR MICRONESIA, INC., and

UNITED AIR LINES, INC.

for reissuance of certificates and other economic authorities and 

registration of trade name

Docket DOT-OST-2013-0032

ORDER REISSUING AUTHORITY

Summary 

By Order 2011-3-14, the Department (1) granted the request of Continental Airlines, Inc. 

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

Micronesia, Inc. (“Air Micronesia”) (collectively, “Continental”), and United Air Lines, Inc. 

(“United”) to transfer route authority under section 41105 of Title 49 of the United States Code 

(“the Statute”); (2) transferred and amended the interstate and foreign scheduled certificates and 

certain other economic authorities issued to Continental and United; and (3) amended certain 

grants of antitrust immunity issued to Continental and United to facilitate a merger of the air 

carriers into a single entity. The Department also reissued the certificates and other economic 

authorities issued to Continental and United to reflect name changes necessary to facilitate the 

merger to a single operating certificate.

On February 15, 2013, Continental and United (collectively, the “Joint Applicants’) filed an 

application in docket DOT-OST-2013-0032 requesting a second reissuance of its certificates and 

other economic authorities in the name “United Airlines, Inc.” The Joint Applicants state that,

on or about March 31, 2013, United plans to merge into Continental Airlines, with Continental 

Airlines continuing to exist post-merger as the surviving entity.1

 Following the merger 

Continental Airlines intends to change its corporate name from “Continental Airlines, Inc.” to 

“United Airlines, Inc.,” and thereafter conduct its operations under the “United” brand name. 

 1 The Joint Applicants state that following the merger, Continental will remain a wholly-owned subsidiary of United 

Continental Holding, Inc.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
2

The Joint Applicants also request, however, that the trade name “Continental” be registered as an 

additional trade name because operations under the Continental trade name may be needed 

during completion of the merger and integration process. In concluding their request, the Joint 

Applicants note that the change in corporate name will not constitute a substantial change as 

defined by 14 CFR § 204.5, nor will it affect the Joint Applicants’ operations, ownership, or 

management.

Part 215 (14 CFR 215) of the Department’s regulations provides that any carrier wishing to

change its name must first register that name with the Department. The rule further states that 

the Department may register such name after the air carrier gives notification to similarly named 

air carriers of the proposed use of the name. If the registration of the proposed name would 

likely result in significant potential for public confusion the Department may preclude 

registration of such name. Moreover, the Department may also pursue enforcement action in 

cases where there is evidence of actual public harm or confusion in violation of the unfair and 

deceptive practices provisions set forth under 49 U.S.C. § 41712. 

In this matter, the only similarly named air carriers we identified are those air carriers holding 

trade name registrations to operate on behalf of the Joint Applicants pursuant to operating 

agreements. Because the Joint Applicants themselves gave such air carriers the authority to use 

these trade names, we find there is no trade name conflict or potential for public confusion or 

harm. 

Because the Joint Applicants have complied with the requirements of Part 215, we will reissue 

the certificates and other economic authorities held by the applicants to reflect the new corporate 

name and we will acknowledge the registration of the name “Continental” for immediate use in 

the Joint Applicants’ operations.

ACCORDINGLY:

1. We reissue the interstate certificate and foreign air transportation certificates and authorities 

listed in Attachment A currently issued to “Continental Airlines, Inc., and/or United Air 

Lines, Inc.,” in the name “United Airlines, Inc.”

2. We reissue the interstate certificate and foreign air transportation certificates and authorities 

listed in Attachment B currently issued to “Continental Airlines, Inc., Continental 

Micronesia, Inc., and/or United Air Lines, Inc.,” in the name “United Airlines, Inc. and/or 

Continental Micronesia, Inc.”

3. We reissue the interstate certificate and foreign air transportation certificates and authorities 

listed in Attachment C currently issued to “Continental Airlines, Inc., Continental 

Micronesia, Inc., Air Micronesia, Inc., and/or United Air Lines, Inc., in the name “United 

Airlines, Inc., Continental Micronesia, Inc., and/or Air Micronesia, Inc.”

4. With respect to the foreign certificate for Route 170 issued to Continental Airlines, Inc., 

Continental Micronesia, Inc., Air Micronesia, Inc., and/or United Air Lines, Inc., we replace 
3

references to “Continental Micronesia, Inc., and/or United Air Lines, Inc.” in the terms and 

conditions of that certificate with “Continental Micronesia, Inc. and/or United Airlines, Inc.”

5. We acknowledge the registration of the trade name “Continental” by United Airlines, Inc., 

Continental Micronesia, Inc., and/ or Air Micronesia, Inc., for immediate use in their 

operations.

6. We direct the Joint Applicants to submit in Docket DOT-OST-2013-0032, within 14 days of 

closing, evidence of filing the merger transaction with the State of Delaware.

7. This order becomes effective upon closing of the anticipated merger transaction, which is 

expected to occur as early as March 31, 2013. 

8. We will serve a copy of this order on all interested parties.
