Summary

[edit]
Description

Operating United 1744 to Houston Intercontinental, the former home hub of Continental, and now that Continental and United are merged, the largest hub in the combined airline.

30 November 2011 marked a milestone in the United-Continental merger, where the two airlines operate under a single Air Operating Certificate. Although it is the old Continental's certificate, the name, and the air traffic control callsign, are United. Continental now no longer exists as a separate airline, even though Continental Airlines' separate pilot union contract and reservation system still remain.

Delivered in January 2004 new to Continental, this is one of the last 757s built. Continental's decision to convert its 757-300 outstanding orders to the more fuel-efficient 737-900ERs was a key reason for Boeing killing the 757.
