Continental Airlines Hoodie / Sweatshirt
Celebrate Continental Airlines with a hoodie or sweatshirt tied to a carrier that linked regional airmail beginnings to worldwide jet-age memories. Founded as Varney Speed Lines in 1934, Continental became a familiar name from El Paso and Denver to Houston, Newark, Guam, and beyond. Its story holds the Golden Tail, People Express-era expansion, OnePass, and the globe identity that continued through the United integration. A warm nod to aviation history.
Continental Airlines began in 1934 as Varney Speed Lines, operating airmail and passenger service from El Paso through New Mexico to Pueblo, Colorado. Robert F. Six became general manager on July 5, 1936, and the carrier was renamed Continental Air Lines on July 8, 1937. Its headquarters moved to Denver that October, later shifting to Los Angeles in 1963 and Houston in 1983. Continental merged with Pioneer Air Lines in 1955, adding cities in Texas and New Mexico. It expanded from regional roots into a trunk carrier, introducing Boeing 707 service in 1959 and later operating aircraft including the DC-9, 727, 747 and DC-10. Texas International Airlines merged operations with Continental in 1982 while retaining the Continental identity. Further mergers brought People Express, Frontier, New York Air and commuter carriers into Continental in 1987. Continental and United announced their merger in 2010; the United name, Continental operating certificate and globe livery were retained. Integration was completed March 3, 2012.
