Continental Airlines was a major American airline that operated from 1934 to 2012, when it merged with United Airlines.
The origin of Continental Airlines dates to the 1934 formation of Varney Speed Lines which operated airmail and passenger services in the American Southwest. The carrier was renamed Continental Air Lines in 1937 and expanded its domestic U.S. network in the 1960s with jet aircraft. International flights to Southeast Asia and South Pacific destinations began in 1978. Continental was embroiled in ownership struggles in the 1980s and entered bankruptcy in 1983 and 1990. The carrier exhibited a financial and operational turnaround after 1996, and embarked on international route expansion in the 2000s. In 2004 Continental entered SkyTeam alliance. Continental Airlines left the SkyTeam alliance in 2009, and joined Star Alliance in 2009.
