brand of a number of independently owned
regional airlines providing jet feeder service in association with
Continental Airlines. Currently,
operate under this name. With service to approximately 150 destinations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, ExpressJet and Chautauqua operate all of Continental’s small jet service from its hubs in Houston, Newark and Cleveland, with additional non-hub service. ExpressJet operates a large portion of it's 274 fleet of 274 Embraer-145 and -135 aircraft for Continental Airlines, INC and its Continental Express brand.
ExpressJet, was at one time a fully owned subsidiary of the holding corporation in control of Continental Airlines. In this previous incarnation before its
divestiture Continental Express flew turbo-prop aircraft such as the EMB-120 Brasilia, ATR-42/72 and Beech 1900, but Continental Airlines now contracts with other airlines such as CommutAir, Gulfstream International, and
Colgan Air to operate prop aircraft as Continental Connection on short-haul routes.
Continental Express airlines share the Continental hubs: Cleveland, Ohio's
Hopkins International Airport, Houston, Texas's
George Bush Intercontinental Airport, and
Newark, New Jersey's

In the past, other airlines, such as Trans Colorado Airlines had used the Continental Express name. Trans Colorado Airlines operated in the 1970's and 80's, when Continental had hub operations in Stapleton Airport in Denver, Colorado. Continental did not move their hub to the new
Denver International Airport due to high landing fees.

ExpressJet Holdings announced on Dec. 28, 2005 that they received notice from Continental Airlines of its intention to reduce by 69 the number of aircraft ExpressJet will operate for Continental under the companies' capacity purchase agreement. Per the agreement, ExpressJet could return the aircraft to Continental, or lease them from Continental at a higher rate and operate as a regional feeder for another airline.
As announced by Continental, the withdrawal of aircraft from the agreement was expected to begin in January 2007 and be completed during summer 2007. Simultaneously, Continental announced its intention to request proposals from other regional carriers to lease and operate the returned aircraft, beginning in January 2007. Continental announced in April 2006 that Chautauqua Airlines had been awarded a contract to operate the 69 aircraft owned by Continental.
ExpressJet later announced their intention to maintain operating the 69 aircraft independently, at increased lease rates. As such, Continental's announced contract with Chautauqua has been voided.
In July 2006, Continental Airlines announced a new contract, in which Chautauqua Airlines will provide and operate regional jets as a Continental Express carrier. Continental picks Chautauqua for regional jets Therefore, as of 2007, Continental Express will consist of 205 aircraft operated by Expressjet Airlines, and 25 aircraft operated by Chautauqua.
