AMENDMENT NO. 1 OVERVIEW

We are filing Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") to the Continental Airlines, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the "2005 Form 10-K"), which was originally filed on February 28, 2006, to amend Part IV, Item 15 of our 2005 Form 10-K for the sole purpose of amending and restating (1) the Index to Exhibits and (2) Exhibit 23.1, Consent of Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young").

Exhibit 23.1 to our 2005 Form 10-K inadvertently included an erroneous reference to February 22, 2006 as the date of Ernst & Young's reports with respect to (1) the consolidated financial statements and schedule of Continental Airlines, Inc., (2) the assessment by our management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and (3) the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The revised Exhibit 23.1 now refers to the correct date of February 24, 2006.

In addition, Exhibit 23.1 to our 2005 Form 10-K inadvertently failed to include a consent to the incorporation by reference of Ernst & Young's report on (1) the assessment by the management of ExpressJet Holdings, Inc. ("ExpressJet") of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and (2) the effectiveness of ExpressJet's internal control over financial reporting, which is included in Exhibit 99.2 of the original filing. The revised Exhibit 23.1 now includes such a consent.

No other revisions or amendments have been made to Part IV, Item 15 or to any other portion of our 2005 Form 10-K. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after February 28, 2006, the date of the original filing of our 2005 Form 10-K, or modify or update those disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events. In addition, currently-dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have been included as exhibits to this Amendment.

    Copa Holdings, S.A.'s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our 2005 Form 10-K, were incorporated by reference into such report as the "Separate Financial Statements of Fifty-Percent or Less Owned Persons," financial statements required as part of such report.

    ExpressJet Holdings Inc.'s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to our 2005 Form 10-K, were incorporated by reference into such report as the "Separate Financial Statements of Fifty-Percent or Less Owned Persons," financial statements required as part of such report.

    All other schedules have been omitted because they are inapplicable, not required, or the information is included elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements or notes thereto.

  5. See accompanying Index to Exhibits.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Continental Airlines, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 and have issued our report thereon dated February 24, 2006 (included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(b) of this Form 10-K. This schedule is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion based on our audits.

In our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
