Continental Airlines Company Description
If it's a continent, chances are it's accessible via Continental Airlines. The carrier serves about 120 markets in the US and 120 in other countries from hubs in Cleveland; Houston; Newark, New Jersey; and Guam. Its network includes destinations served by regional carriers operating as Continental Express and Continental Connection. Overall, Continental has about 370 mainline jets and 280 regional aircraft.
