HOUSTON, Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Continental Airlines (NYSE:
CAL) announced today that its senior vice president customer experience,
David Grizzle, 54, has informed the company that he has decided to retire
effective Sept. 19, 2008 to pursue other commercial and charitable
activities.

“David has been a dedicated and valued member of our senior management
team during his 23 years at Continental,” said Larry Kellner, Continental’s
chairman and chief executive officer. “He has contributed greatly to our
airline by focusing on the customer and using creativity to resolve issues.
We will miss him, and wish him well in this next phase of his career.”

Grizzle has held various positions during his tenure at Continental. He

Department of State.

“No airline has a more consistent and methodical commitment than
Continental to improve the customer experience, and that focus will
continue and expand long after my departure,” said Grizzle.

Grizzle will continue to serve as senior vice president customer
experience until the effective date of his retirement.
