Company History

In July 2004, Continental celebrated its 70th Anniversary. Once known as "The Proud Bird With The Golden Tail," Continental boasts a long and distinctive history that began on July 15, 1934 with single-engine Lockheed aircraft on dusty runways in the American Southwest.

Continental relocated its headquarters to Houston, Texas, in October 1982 after merging with Texas International.
