To merge two airlines, first have the Merged Airline (whether existing or a new startup) buy all the aircraft from the airline being bought out/merged. If the Merged Airline doesn't have enough money, then once a few planes have been purchased from the old airline, it lease a plane back to it for all the cash on hand. Then the old airlines releases the plane back, causing the money to be transferred. The staying airline will have money again to keep purchasing airplanes. Keep doing this until all the aircraft are at the new airline. Finally, to transfer money, you will need to have the Merged Airline lease a plane for all the money that the old airline has and then releasing it back to the Merged Airline. Once the pilots transfer, you can then shutdown the old airline. You also might want to create the routes that the old airline has before shutting down by exporting the flightplans and then uploading them into the Merged Airline's flightplan database. To do this, see the other thread regarding mass upload of flightplans here.

The merger of airlines is occasionally allowed by the administrators, but only if the combined airline will have a value of less than 10 billion in total assets.

Do not attempt to transfer assets between airlines. Attempting to use the lease, loan, repeated sale of aircraft or any other method to transfer assets between airlines is prohibited and may result in the forfeiture of all assets involved in the transfer.

If you wish to merge airlines, both airlines must be partners and the CEO's/Presidents of both airlines should submit support tickets requesting the merger.
