We take up Thursday’s announcement that United Airlines and Continental are close to a merger. Though the deal is still not final, a merger could be announced as soon as Monday. If the deal goes through, the new airline would be the nation’s largest, putting it ahead of Delta which merged with Northwest last year. What are the potential implications for the industry, and for fares out of SFO where United is the dominant carrier?
