Continental and United Airlines were discussing about merging and combining their operations on Thursday.

However, most of the analysts in industry had viewed those conversations as a not-so-elusive endeavor by United to pull Continental back to negotiating table. Moreover, people outlined on the subject cautioned on Thursday that the conversations between United and Continental were in the premature phases and can quickly fall apart.

In addition, talks between US Airways and United are still in negotiation. According to Vicki Bryan, an analyst at Gimme Credit, the stars have aligned for combination. In addition, United is compelling Continental to make a reposition and is using poor little US Airways as trap.

Furthermore, the negotiations come close to two years after Continental broke off an appointment to merge with United. The combination will build the nation’s largest airline, in terms of income. Merging the operations of United in the West, including its hubs in San Francisco and Denver, and the Continental’s hubs in Newark and Houston will build a challenging competitor to Delta Air Lines that came to the top position because of its assumption of Northwest Airlines in 2008.

Moreover, if the United-Continental talks result in a deal, American Airlines would end up as the third major carrier with both international and domestic operations. However, it will leave US Airways way behind, with analysts questioning its chances of survival.

Combining United and Continental will also build a global anomaly. Continental will carry its strong occurrence in Europe and Latin America, while United has strong positions in Asia such as Japan and China.

According to Julie King, the spokesperson for Continental in Houston and Jean Medina, the spokesperson for United in Chicago, both refused to comment. United is the nation’s third-largest carrier in terms of market value, and Continental is the fourth. Moreover, the spokesperson for US Airways, Todd Lehmacher, also refused to comment.

According to the current investigation, flight from New York to London increased up to $229 for one way trip on many airline companies.

However, nine government fees and taxes added $162 for more than fourth part of the total price of the ticket. Fees for baggages may be the reason of many passengers is complaining, but airline companies are calming to draw attention to other expenses waiting in the fine print.

In addition, all of the fees and taxes that go toward the projects of the airport, security of the airport, air traffic control and customs inspections. Moreover, most of the taxes are very little for every individual, but they can add up to an important share of the ticket price, especially for the flights internationally.

Furthermore, there are also some argument about exactly how much ticket taxes have increased in current years, the representatives of airlines said that the governments are progressively turning to travelers to expand income in bend times, and that there is small misunderstanding over how the money is consumed.

According to David A. Castelveter, the spokesperson of the Air Transport Association, they were taxed exclusively too much.  Castelveter also added that they cannot have outside affiliations attaining for more when the industry of airlines is losing billions of dollars. They are also thinking that there is other way to fund those programs that people want to initiate.

Moreover, when travelling within the United States, there are four fundamental taxes on airfares. The first two taxes go to the Airway Trust Fund and Airport that funds the Federal Aviation Administration; the charges for the facility of the passengers are passed to the airports. Furthermore, the fees for the security finance the Transportation Security Administration.
