CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ANNOUNCES MICRONESIA FLEET UPGRADE

Airline to replace DC-10s with new B767-400ER wide body jets

Continental Airlines announced it will replace its Pacific fleet of DC-10 aircraft with brand new Boeing 767-400ER jets. The B767-400ER will initially service Flights 1 and 2 between Guam and Honolulu, effective immediately. The new aircraft will offer our customers greater travel comfort with 2-1-2 seat configuration in BusinessFirst and 2-3-2 seat configuration in coach class, designed to give nearly every customer a window or an aisle seat. Every seat, including coach, has an individual video monitor and satellite telephone. The aircraft is equipped with oversized overhead storage bins, adjustable winged headrests, laptop computer power ports at every seat in BusinessFirst and select rows in coach, an espresso machine and eight lavatories: three in front and five in the main cabin, including one wheelchair accessible lavatory for customers with disabilities.

"The introduction of the new Boeing 767-400 in the Guam market will improve Continental's award winning product to a level unsurpassed by other airlines," stated Walter Dias, Staff Vice-President of Sales and Marketing.

"Bringing new aircraft to our region demonstrates Continental's continued commitment to the Micronesia market, and our desire to provide our customers the highest level of service."

The arrival of the 767s will complete the airline's commitment to a fleet rejuvenation plan, ultimately resulting in all new Boeing aircraft for the Micronesia operation, and one of the youngest fleets in the Pacific.

Coincidentally, October 1st marks the 2nd anniversary of the initial delivery of Continental's ten (10) Next Generation B737-800 aircraft, an investment of $500 Million in the airline's operations.

Continental Micronesia is headquartered in Guam and operates a Pacific hub from the A.B. Won Pat Guam International Airport.

Continental Airlines is represented in Australia and New Zealand by World Aviation Systems, with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Auckland.
