US Airways (LCC)

UAL Corporation (NASDAQ:UAUA0, the parent of United Airlines, and US Airways (NYSE:LCC) are in talks to merge, in a potential deal that would create one of the world’s largest airlines, people briefed on the matter told the New York Times DealBook on Wednesday. United and US Airways are deep in their merger discussions, though a transaction is not expected to be announced for at least several weeks.
Terms of the deal could not be learned. One issue being worked on is the management structure of the combined company. With both leisure and business travel down steeply, many analysts have argued that the United States still has too many airlines chasing too few passengers.
