On October 15, 1939, the American parent sold 51% of the Canadian subsidiary's stock to meet restrictions on the citizenship of owners of Canadian carriers and in March 1940, they reduced their ownership of the Canadian subsidiary further, to 24.5%.[1][2]

However, on August 13, 1941, the CAB rejected a permit for Limited to operate to the US as a foreign air carrier, because such permits were restricted to foreign airlines operating foreign-registered aircraft, and during the qualification period, Limited operated US-registered aircraft. The CAB directed Limited to stop flying in the United States and on June 30, 1942, Limited ceased operations.[1][2]

On April 30, 1942, Incorporated changed its name to Colonial Airlines, Inc.[2]
