The following is a transcript of video content featuring Jeffery Smisek, Chairman, President and CEO of Continental Airlines, Inc., that was presented at the Carlson-Wagonlit Travel’s “Impact2010 CWT Leadership Summit” in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 27, 2010:

Hi, I’m Jeff Smisek from Continental Airlines. Well, I’ve got to hand it to you guys at Carlson Wagonlit: a three-day conference at the magnificent ARIA Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

I trust your focus the past few days has been on breakout sessions, keynote speakers and the supplier tradeshow, AND NOT auditioning for the sequel to the “The Hangover!”

I want to take a moment to thank you for your strong support of Continental over the years. Carlson Wagonlit is a long-time, trusted business partner and all of us here value that relationship.

I know Monisa, Kelly, Marie and Ken, who are attending the conference, also share my view and recognize your commitment to service excellence.

I also noticed the theme of your leadership summit is “Impact 2010” and C-W-T consistently delivers some of the highest levels of performance for Continental.

To use the language of the strip, you deal us a winning hand every time!

The working together culture we share is why our partnership is so special.

It’s also a direct result of the leadership and vision of Jack O’Neil. To Jack and the entire team at Carlson Wagonlit, we appreciate your support of Continental and we’ll continue to work to earn your business every day.

As you know, we’ve recently announced our plans to merge with United Airlines. This combination brings the best of both carriers: we’ll combine Continental’s strength in New York and Latin America and our “working together” culture with United’s strength on the West Coast and across the Pacific.

Together, we’ll be the greatest airline in the world with a comprehensive global network, leading frequent flyer program and great customer service. Monisa will be up in a few minutes to provide more details on our merger.

But before I go, let me thank you once again for your professionalism and the top quality service you provide our customers and Continental Airlines. Keep up the great work and enjoy your final day in Vegas.

In the city of high rollers, nobody hits the jackpot for their customers better than the “aces” at Carlson Wagonlit.
