To the Stockholder of Continental Airlines, Inc.
Chicago, Illinois
The management of Continental Airlines, Inc. (“Continental”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Continental’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including
Continental’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Continental conducted an evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in 

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that its internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2011.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of Continental’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by Continental’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permit Continental to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
