A change of ownership two years later resulted in a new name, Pennsylvania Airlines and then Pennsylvania Central Airlines. In 1948, it resumed its old name, Capital Airlines, and during that year became the airline to offer inflight television. Labor and financial problems over the years resulted in a merger with United Airlines in 1961.
