Continental Airlines has suspended operations at its Houston hub at Bush Intercontinental Airport through Saturday in anticipation of severe weather conditions caused by Hurricane Ike.

Normal operations are planned at the Newark Liberty and Cleveland hubs.

Continental will not operate mainline jet flights at IAH through Saturday night. Continental has plans to reactivate the hub on Sunday morning, although some flights on Sunday will remain subject to cancellation.

Continental Express and Continental Connection regional airline operations have also been suspended at IAH through Saturday.

Continental employees from other domestic locations are positioned to fly into Houston to assist their co-workers in resuming operations at the IAH hub after the storm.
Business Continuity Facility Opened

Due to the approach of Hurricane Ike, Continental has opened its off-site Business Continuity facility and transferred operations of the airline away from the headquarters building until the storm passes.

The company plans for the center, located outside the city of Houston, to remain open until Sunday morning when operations resume at IAH.
