Continental Airlines has won two major awards in the OAG Airline of the Year Awards 2006. Continental won "Best Executive/Business Class" for the fourth year in a row. This award recognizes the excellent comfort, service and value of BusinessFirst, available on many international flights.
Continental also won "Best Airline Based in North America" for the third year in a row.
The awards are based on votes by frequent flyers around the world who subscribe to OAG print and electronic travel information products. Tim Kennedy, Continental's Managing Director Sales & Marketing - Europe, Middle East & India, accepted the awards on behalf of the airline at a ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
At the same ceremony, OAG's Outstanding Service Award 2006 was presented to Maria Benson, Manager of Continental's "We Care" program, in recognition of her dedication and inspiring leadership in helping fellow employees who were victims of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans last year.
"We're extremely proud of Maria as she wins this award because she truly exemplifies the 'Working Together' spirit that is so unique to the culture of Continental," said Larry Kellner, Continental's chairman and CEO.
