Rumor: United and US Airways could announce merger soon
Word on the secret underground is that United Airlines and US Airways may be in talks to merge, and may even announce their plans as early as TODAY. Other reports say that they're waiting on union approval and could postpone an announcement in early May.I know we've all been speculating about whether any other legacy carriers were going to merge after the Northwest and Delta deal got rolling; many believed that Continental and United were next in line, especially with Continental's suspicious postings on their new website, co-industryconsolidation.com.
Perhaps that's not the only deal in motion though? United and US Airways, two airlines that have faced particular hardship over the last few years could well-benefit from the consolidation of their services. Both are in the same airline alliance and have numerous domestic hubs that could directly compete with the the new Northwelta.
Keep an eye on the news and UAUA today. Again, this is all still speculation but big news could be on the way.
