NEW YORK (AP) -- The parent company of United Airlines says two top executives are leaving the company once it combines with Continental Airlines Inc.
UAL Corp., based in Chicago, said Tuesday that United Airlines President John Tague and Chief Financial Officer Kathryn Mikells will depart once the deal closes in the fall.
Tague joined the company in 2003 while United was in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Mikells joined United in 1994.
Continental CEO Jeff Smisek will be president and CEO of the combined company. United Chairman and CEO Glenn Tilton will become non-executive chairman. Continental CFO Zane Rowe will keep that job in the new company.
