Continental Airlines, the 5th largest airline in the United States, manages thousands of take-offs and landings every day of the year. The company’s headquarters is located in Houston with hub airports in that city as well as in Newark and Cleveland. Aside from labor costs, an airline’s biggest expense is fuel. In recent months, as fuel costs have skyrocketed, the efficient scheduling and management of every aircraft has taken on increased importance because of the major impact to the airline’s bottom line. Continental has an excellent track record and takes considerable pride in actively seeking out and utilizing the newest and most advanced technologies.
