Continental Airlines
formerly
Varney Air Transport
USA
Continental Airlines was founded as the Southwest Division of Varney Speed Lines (the other division of Varney Speed Lines was in California) to fly over the contract mail route from Pueblo to El Paso. The service started in July 1934 with the addition of a passenger leg between Denver and Pueblo. The name changed to Varney Air Transport in December 1934 and again to Continental Air Lines in July 1937. Continental took over the Local Service carrier Pioneer Air Lines in April 1955.
In 1981 Texas Air Corporation acquired control of the airline and merged it with Texas International Airlines in October 1982. During 1986 Texas Air purchased People Express and the assets of Frontier Airlines, which were merged into Continental, as was New York Air, another airline owned by Texas Air. The merger was completed by January 1987, making Continental one of the largest airlines in the U.S.A.
