Less than two weeks after Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines unveiled their plan to merge, United Airlines parent UAL is nearing a decision about its potential merger partner. The deliberations come as talks are heating up among carriers worried about being marginalized if they don't combine in a deteriorating industry climate.
UAL, which already has had detailed merger talks for at least a month with US Airways Group, recently embarked on parallel discussions with Continental Airlines, according to people familiar with those situations. United wants to come to a decision about its preferred outcome in the next couple of weeks and a deal announcement by mid-May could be in the offing, said one person familiar with the matter.
