Continental Airlines
Based in Houston, Texas, Continental Airlines has hubs at Houston Intercontinental near Houston, Texas, at Newark, New Jersey, and at Cleveland, Ohio. Continental is the fourth largest airline in the USA, flying to destinations in North America, Mexico, Central and South America, Europe, Australia, Micronesia, and Australia. This airline offers over 6,000 departures every day to hundreds of domestic and international destinations, and employees nearly 83,000 workers.
Continental Airlines is a member of the SkyTeam Alliance, partnering with Northwest Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Air France, Aeromexico, Alitalia and KLM. Continental also has alliances with Amtrak train service and U.S. Helicopter in the United States, and SNCF French Rail in France. However, Continental plans to leave SkyTeam in October 2009 in order to join the Star Alliance. Joining the Star Alliance allows Continental to work more closely with United Airlines. Continental has been in merger talks with United off and on since 2006. However, Continental plans to focus on the Star Alliance until October.
The Continental frequent flyer program is OnePass. Member earn valuable miles on all Continental flights, as well as when they travel on Aero Republica, Copa, or any other SkyTeam carrier (Star Alliance after October 2009). Frequent flyers can earn and use their miles on Continental or any other carrier in its alliance.
Continental Airlines was founded in 1931 as Varney Speed Lines. The company name was changed to Continental Airlines in 1937. The airline was originally based in El Paso, Texas and offered service to New Mexico, Colorado and Las Vegas, Nevada.
Many modern flyers do not know that at one time, the only class was first class—and ticket prices were always high. Continental pioneered the lower fare movement, introducing coach class fares in 1962. Continental has been flying to Europe since 1985.
Continental was the first American airline to hire an African-American pilot, in 1963, as well as the first U.S. carrier to survive bankruptcy.
The company recently announced another first with the demonstration of the biofuel-powered flight by any commercial airline in the U.S. The fuel was a special blend extracted from algae and jatrophra seeds. The company intends to continue working with biofuels, as part of a comprehensive effort to reduce air travel's environmental footprint. Continental offers its passengers the opportunity to buy carbon offsets, the money used to replant deforested areas, for just two dollars per ticket. The US Environmental Protection Agency has recognized Continental for its continuing efforts at green transportation.
Every Continental jet was built by Boeing, whether 737, 757, 767, and 777. The airline plans to add the Boeing Dreamliner 787 to its fleet before 2012. Continental's exclusive agreement with Boeing dates from 1990, although the European Union ruled that the contract was void when Boeing acquired its rival McDonnell Douglas in 1997. For all practical purposes, however, the exclusive relationship between Continental and Boeing has continued.
Like every other carrier, Continental struggles with its finances. The company reported losing millions of dollars in 2008 due to retirement funding and soaring fuel costs.
