ExpressJet began in 1986 as Continental Airlines purchased a series of small regional airlines. Initially, those acquisitions included Houston’s Royale Airways, Denver’s Pioneer and Honolulu’s Mid Pacific Air.

The company began operations as Continental Express, soon flourishing under a series of codeshare agreements including:

• Rocky Mountain
• Texas Air
• Southern Jersey
• Britt Airways
• Provincetown-Boston Airline

In 2002, the company spun off as ExpressJet Holdings, making its Initial Public Offering (IPO) at $16 per share and immediately raising almost $500 million.  By 2006, ExpressJet had become one of the world’s largest operators of regional aircraft.

Today ExpressJet Holdings is invested in a number of airline-related businesses, partnerships and investments.

In less than 10 years, ExpressJet has delivered superior financial and operating results, earning:

• Fortune’s Most Admired Airlines (2005 and 2006)
• Condé Nast Traveler Annual Business Travel Awards Poll (2005)
• Houston Business Journal's Top 100 Public Companies (2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007)
• Air Transport World's Regional Airline of the Year (2003)

The company has over 7,000 employees.
