1/Common names are used throughout. 

2/ Although Continental Micronesia was a party to the original application for a statement of authorization

3/ United, Continental and ANA are filing this notice on behalf, and with the permission, of their respective 

regional partners. This blanket code-share notice applies to the display of the ―NH*‖ designator code on 

flights operated by Continental and United’s regional partners only within the scope of the operating 

authorizations (including statements of authorization for the display of ANA’s code) issued by the 

Department to each of these regional affiliate carriers. Of the combined Continental and United regional 

partners, the following operate large aircraft and, therefore, obtained a statement of authorization to codeshare with ANA: Colgan, GoJet, Mesa, Shuttle America and SkyWest. 

Similarly, this blanket code-share notice applies to the display of the ―CO*‖ and ―UA*‖ designator codes 

on flights operated by ANA’s regional partners within the scope of the operating authorizations (including 

the separate blanket statements of authorization to display the Continental &/or United code) issued by the 

Department to each of those regional partners. ANA’s regional partners are: Air Japan Co., Ltd., Air 

Nippon Co., Ltd., ANA Wings Co., Ltd., and IBEX Airlines Co., Ltd. Some flights may be operated by

these partners on a wet lease basis for ANA pursuant to ANA’s codesharing agreements with United and 

Continental. 

4/ Effective October 1, 2010, Continental and United became commonly owned by United Continental 

Holdings, Inc. The two carriers, however, are continuing to operate separately until the Federal Aviation 

Administration authorizes combined operations under a single operating certificate.
