Continental Airlines has won top honors in the OAG Airline of the Year Awards 2004.
In addition to being named "Airline of the Year," Continental was awarded with "Best Executive/Business Class" and "Best Airline Based in North America."
Continental is the first North America airline ever to win "Airline of the Year" an award which has been given since 1982.
The OAG Airline of the Year Awards celebrate the very best in global air travel and publicity recognize the highest standards with the industry.

"The people of Continental have worked together consistently for more than a decade to provide the best service you can get from an airline," said Continental chairman and CEO Gordon Bethune. "These awards demonstrate that we are still delivering what counts, and premium international travelers in particular continue to regard BusinessFirst as the top choice for its blend of cabin amenities and expert service from our personnel."
Tim Kennedy, Continental’s Managing director Europe/Middle East Sales and Marketing, accepted the awards on behalf of the airline at the ceremony at the Park Lane Hotel in London.
Continental Airlines is the world’s sixth-largest airline with more than 2,800 daily departures throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Continental serves 149 domestic and international destinations – more than any other airline in the world – and nearly 200 additional points are served via codeshare partner airlines.
With 41,000 mainline employees, the airline has hubs serving New York, Houston, Cleveland and Guam, and carries approximately 51 million passengers per year.
FORTUNE ranks Continental one of the 100 Best Companies to Work for in America, an honor it has earned for six consecutive years. FORTUNE also ranks Continental as the top airline in its Most Admired Global Companies in 2004.
