United Airlines and Continental Airlines have agreed on a path to obtain a single operating certificate from FAA that will see the merged carriers retain the "legacy Continental operating certificate and the legacy United repair station certificate," according to UA VP-Corporate Safety, Security, Quality & Environment Michael Quiello.
It is anticipated the SOC will take at least a year to accomplish from the date of the closing of the merger, expected by Oct. 1.
Although both operating certificates contain "unique" advantages, the CO certificate was selected "because of its enhanced technology authorizations and close conformity to standard FAA language as well as other regulatory and commercial considerations," Quiello stated.
