Randi - I Googled this information. If this means biggest by number of passengers flown, then I saw two ratings of Continental at 11th.
However, in June 2006, Continental was 5th in terms of miles flown.
Did the contest specify what they meant by 'biggest'? :)
Thanks Catty1! :) No they didn't specify this - they should have done of course!
Well, my guess would be 5th. Either that or 10th. I think that AA, Lufthansa, Air France and possibly United are bigger. I looked at their web site, but couldn't find that kind of info. Hmm!
LOL - I think only #1 airline would have it on their website! :DQuote:

No, you're probably right about that! ;)
I'm going to ask Jeeves. :D
Edit* LOL. I actually got a good site I had already bookmarked years ago: http://www.airliners.net
According to this they are number 4 in the US....so stands to reason they cannot be 2nd in the world. But is there one airline outside the US that is bigger or 5?
Interesting....
I've never even heard of Continental Airlines. :D lol
I assume they mean in revenue. The only thing I could find was an article from 2005 stating that Continental was the 6th largest airline in the world and talked as if this were an upswing due to new management. I tried and tried to figure out how to copy or link the article here, but couldn't figure it out. So if the trend continued, I would guess that it is #5. (?)
