                  Purchase Agreement No. 2061

                             between

                       The Boeing Company

                               and

                   Continental Airlines, Inc.

                 ______________________________


               This amended and restated Purchase Agreement No.
2061 (formerly known as Purchase Agreement No. 1785) is dated as
of October   10, 1997, between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and
Continental Airlines, Inc. (Customer) relating to the purchase
and sale of Model 777-200IGW aircraft. The terms and conditions
of the Aircraft General Terms Agreement dated as of October   10,
1997, between the parties, identified as AGTA-CAL (AGTA), are
hereby incorporated by reference into this Purchase Agreement.

                            RECITALS

A.  Boeing and Customer previously entered into Purchase
Agreement No. 1785 dated March 18, 1993, as amended and
supplemented.

B.  Boeing and Customer now desire to further amend and restate
the terms and conditions of their agreement and to reflect their
entire agreement in this amended and restated Purchase Agreement
No. 2061 (Purchase Agreement).

C.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Purchase Agreement contains
the entire agreement between the parties and replaces and
supersedes Purchase Agreement No. 1785.

Now therefore, the parties agree as follows:


Article 1.     Quantity, Model and Description.

               The aircraft to be delivered to Customer will be
designated as Model 777-200IGW aircraft (the Aircraft).  Boeing
will manufacture and sell to Customer Aircraft conforming to the
configuration described in Exhibit A, which is part of this
Purchase Agreement, in the quantities listed in Table 1 to the
Purchase Agreement.

Article 2.     Delivery Schedule.

               The Aircraft will be delivered to Customer in
accordance with the scheduled months of delivery listed in the
attached Table 1, which is part of this Purchase Agreement. 
Exhibit B, which is part of this Purchase Agreement, describes
certain responsibilities for both Customer and Boeing in order to
accomplish the delivery of the Aircraft.

Article 3.     Price.

               3.1   Aircraft Basic Price.  The Aircraft Basic
Price is listed in Table 1 and is subject to mutually agreed upon
price adjustments and the Escalation Adjustment.

               3.2   Advance Payment Base Prices.  The Advance
Payment Base Prices for the Aircraft are listed in Table 1 and
were calculated utilizing the latest escalation factors available
to Boeing on the date of this Purchase Agreement projected to the
month of scheduled delivery.

               3.3   Boeing has not yet established the Aircraft
Basic Price for Aircraft scheduled to be delivered after December
31, 2002.  The prices listed in Table 1 for such Aircraft are
only to provide Customer with an estimate of the applicable
Advance Payment Base Prices.  Accordingly, the Aircraft Basic
Price for such Aircraft will be the sum of the Airframe Price,
Optional Features Prices and the Engine Price first published by
Boeing for the same model of aircraft and engines to be delivered
after December 31, 2002.

Article 4.     Payment.

               4.1   Boeing acknowledges receipt of a deposit in
the amount shown in Table 1 for each Aircraft (Deposit).

               4.2   The amounts and payment dates for advance
payments to be made by Customer are set forth in the attached
Table 1.Advance payments for each aircraft are due on the first
business day of the months listed in the attached Table 1.

               4.3   For any Aircraft whose scheduled month of
delivery is less than [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT
TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] from the date of this
Purchase Agreement, the total amount of advance payments due for
payment upon signing of this Purchase Agreement will include all
advance payments which are past due in accordance with the
standard advance payment schedule set forth in Table 1.

               4.4   The Aircraft Price is the total amount
Customer will pay to Boeing at the time of delivery of each
Aircraft.  Such Aircraft Price will be calculated at time of
delivery using then available escalation factors to calculate the
Escalation Adjustment. The invoice amount for an Aircraft will
show the Aircraft Price appropriately adjusted to account for
previously received advance payments.

Article 5.     Miscellaneous.

               5.1   Buyer Furnished Equipment Variables. 
Supplemental Exhibit BFE1, which is part of this Purchase
Agreement, contains vendor selection dates, on dock dates and
other variables applicable to the Aircraft.

               5.2   Customer Support Variables.  Supplemental

                       THE BOEING COMPANY

                               and

                   CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC.


           Exhibit B to Purchase Agreement Number 2061



      AIRCRAFT DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

                           relating to

                BOEING MODEL 777-200IGW AIRCRAFT


Both Boeing and Customer have certain documentation and approval
responsibilities at various times during the construction cycle
of Customer's Aircraft that are critical to making the delivery
of each Aircraft a positive experience for both parties.  This
Exhibit B documents those responsibilities and indicates
recommended completion deadlines for the actions to be
accomplished.  Failure to obtain such completion deadlines shall
not be deemed a breach of this Purchase Agreement or reduce or
amend the parties' obligations hereunder.

    1.   GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS.

Certain actions are required to be taken by Customer in advance
of the scheduled delivery month of each Aircraft with respect to
obtaining certain government issued documentation.

          1.1   Airworthiness and Registration Documents.

                Not later than 6 months prior to delivery of each
Aircraft, Customer will notify Boeing of the registration number
to be painted on the side of the Aircraft.  In addition, and not
later than 3 months prior to delivery of each Aircraft, Customer
will, by letter to the regulatory authority having jurisdiction,
authorize the temporary use of such registration numbers by
Boeing during the pre-delivery testing of the Aircraft.

Customer is responsible for furnishing any temporary or permanent
registration certificates required by any governmental authority
having jurisdiction to be displayed aboard the Aircraft after
delivery.

          1.2   Certificate of Sanitary Construction.

                1.2.1   U.S. Registered Aircraft.  Boeing will
obtain from the United States Public Health Service, a United
States Certificate of Sanitary Construction to be displayed
aboard each Aircraft after delivery to Customer.

                1.2.2   Non-U.S. Registered Aircraft.  If
Customer requires a United States Certificate of Sanitary
Construction at the time of delivery of the Aircraft, Customer
will give written notice thereof to Boeing at least 3 months
prior to delivery.  Boeing will then use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain the Certificate from the United States Public
Health Service and present it to Customer at the time of Aircraft
delivery.

          1.3   Customs Documentation.

                1.3.1   Import Documentation.  If the Aircraft is
intended to be exported from the United States, Customer must
notify Boeing not later than 3 months prior to delivery of each
Aircraft of any documentation required by the customs authorities
or by any other agency of the country of import.

                1.3.2   General Declaration - U.S.  If the
Aircraft is intended to be exported from the United States,
Boeing will prepare Customs Form 7507, General Declaration, for
execution by U.S. Customs immediately prior to the ferry flight
of the Aircraft. For this purpose, Customer will furnish to
Boeing not later than 20 days prior to delivery a complete crew
and passenger list and a complete ferry flight itinerary,
including point of exit from the United States for the Aircraft.

If Customer intends, during the ferry flight of an Aircraft, to
land at a U.S. airport after clearing Customs at delivery,
Customer must notify Boeing not later than 20 days prior to
delivery of such intention.  If Boeing receives such
notification, Boeing will provide to Customer the documents
constituting a Customs permit to proceed, allowing such Aircraft
to depart after any such landing.  Sufficient copies of completed
Form 7507, along with passenger manifest, will be furnished
Customer to cover U.S. stops scheduled for the ferry flight.

                1.3.3   Export Declaration - U.S.  If the
Aircraft is intended to be exported from the United States,
Boeing will prepare Form 7525V and, immediately prior to the
ferry flight, will submit such Form to U.S. Customs in Seattle in
order to obtain clearance for the departure of the Aircraft,
including any cargo, from the United States.  U.S. Customs will
deliver the Export Declaration to the U.S. Department of Commerce
after export.

     2.   INSURANCE CERTIFICATES.

          Unless provided earlier, Customer will provide to
Boeing not later than 30 days prior to delivery of the first
Aircraft, a copy of the requisite annual insurance certificate in
accordance with the requirements of Article 8 of the AGTA.

     3    NOTICE OF FLYAWAY CONFIGURATION.

          Not later than 20 days prior to delivery of the
Aircraft, Customer will provide to Boeing a configuration letter
stating the requested "flyaway configuration" of the Aircraft for
its ferry flight.  This configuration letter should include:

          (i)   the name of the company which is to furnish fuel
     for the ferry flight and any scheduled post-delivery flight
     training, the method of payment for such fuel, and fuel load
     for the ferry flight;

          (ii)  the cargo to be loaded and where it is to be
     stowed on board the Aircraft and address where cargo is to
     be shipped after flyaway;

          (iii) any BFE equipment to be removed prior to flyaway
     and returned to Boeing BFE stores for installation on
     Customer's subsequent Aircraft;

          (iv)  a complete list of names and citizenship of each
     crew member and non-revenue passenger who will be aboard the
     ferry flight; and

          (v)   a complete ferry flight itinerary.

     4.   DELIVERY ACTIONS BY BOEING.

          4.1   Schedule of Inspections.  All FAA, Boeing,
Customer and, if required, U.S. Customs Bureau inspections will
be scheduled by Boeing for completion prior to delivery or
departure of the Aircraft.  Customer will be informed of such
schedules.

          4.2   Schedule of Demonstration Flights.  All FAA and

                       THE BOEING COMPANY

                               and

              ENGINE WARRANTY AND PATENT INDEMNITY

                           relating to

                BOEING MODEL 777-200IGW AIRCRAFT


1.   ENGINE ESCALATION.

(a)  The Aircraft Basic Price of each Aircraft set forth in Table
1 of the Purchase Agreement includes an aggregate price for GE90
engines and all accessories, equipment and parts provided by the
engine manufacturer.  The adjustment in Engine price applicable
to each Aircraft (Engine Price Adjustment) will be determined at
the time of Aircraft delivery in accordance with the following
formula:

[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

(b)  The following definitions will apply herein:

     Pe =   Engine Price Adjustment

     Pb =   Engine Base Price (per Aircraft), as set forth in
            Table 1 of the Purchase Agreement.

     CPI is the Composite Price Index, a value determined using
     the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor
     actual data in accordance with the formula below.  The Index
     values utilized in the formula will be the numbers shown in
     the actual data for the ninth month prior to the month of
     scheduled Aircraft delivery or the ninth month prior to the
     Base Year Dollars month set forth in Table 1.

            [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST
FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

            L   =    The Labor Index will be equal to the
                     quotient of the value associated with the
                     Aircraft Delivery Month divided by the value
                     associated with the Base Year Dollar month
                     in "Hourly Earnings of Aircraft Engines and
                     Engine Parts Production Workers" SIC 3724,
                     multiplied by 100 and then by 55%.

            C  =     The Industrial Commodities Index will be
                     equal to 10% of the Producer Price Index for
                     "all commodities other than Farm and Foods,"
                     Code 3-15 associated with the scheduled
                     Aircraft delivery month.

            M   =    The Metals and Metal Products Index will be
                     equal to 25% of the Producer Price Index for
                     "Metals and Metal Products," Code 10
                     associated with the scheduled Aircraft
                     delivery month.

            E  =     The Fuel Index will be equal to 10% of the
                     Producer Price Index for "Fuel and Related
                     Products and Power," Code 5 associated with
                     the scheduled Aircraft delivery month.

The Engine Price Adjustment will not be made if it would result
in a decrease in the Engine Base Price.

(c)  The values of the Average Hourly Earnings and Producer Price
Indices used will be those published as of a date 30 days prior
to the scheduled Aircraft delivery to Customer.  Such values will
be considered final and no Engine Price Adjustment will be made
after Aircraft delivery for any subsequent changes in published
Index values.

(d)  In the event the Engine price escalation provisions are made
non-enforceable or otherwise rendered null and void by any agency
of the United States Government, or if the U.S. Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (i) substantially revises the
methodology (in contrast to benchmark adjustments or other
corrections of previously published data) or (ii) discontinues
publication of any of the data referred to above, General
Electric Company (GE) agrees to meet jointly with Boeing and
Customer, (to the extent such parties may lawfully do so,) to
jointly select a substitute for the revised or discontinued data;
such substitute data to lead in application to the same
adjustment result, insofar as possible, as would have been
achieved by continuing the use of the original data as it may
have fluctuated had it not been revised or discontinued.  If such
Engine price escalation provisions, methodology or data
publication are subsequently reinstated, Boeing will make
adjustments consistent with the agreements defined in this
Supplemental Exhibit EE1.

NOTE:  The factor (CPI divided by the base year index) by which
       the Engine Base Price is to be multiplied will be
       expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest
       thousandth.  Any rounding of a number, as required under
       this Supplemental Exhibit EE1 with respect to escalation
       of the Engine price, will be accomplished as follows:  if
       the first digit of the portion to be dropped from the
       number to be rounded is five or greater, the preceding
       digit will be raised to the next higher number.

2.   ENGINE WARRANTY AND PRODUCT SUPPORT PLAN.

Boeing has obtained from GE the right to extend to Customer the
provisions of GE's warranty as set forth below (herein referred
to as the "Warranty"); subject, however, to Customer's acceptance

Boeing on or before the date [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND
FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] prior to the
first business day of the applicable delivery month listed in the
Attachment (Option Exercise Date).

5.   Contract Terms.

     Boeing and Customer will use their best efforts to reach a
definitive agreement for the purchase of an Option Aircraft,
including the terms and conditions contained in this Letter
Agreement, in the Purchase Agreement, and other terms and
conditions as may be agreed upon to add the Option Aircraft to
the Purchase Agreement as an Aircraft.  In the event the parties
have not entered into a definitive agreement within 30 days
following option exercise, either party may terminate the
purchase of such Option Aircraft by giving written notice to the
other within 5 days.  If Customer and Boeing fail to enter into
such definitive agreement, Boeing will retain the Deposit for
that Option Aircraft unless failure is attributable to Boeing's
fault, in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to
Customer without interest.

               Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and
               Continental Airlines, Inc. (Customer) relating to
               Model 777-200IGW aircraft (the Aircraft)


Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Letter Agreement amends and supplements the Purchase
Agreement.  All terms used but not defined in this Letter
Agreement shall have the same meaning as in the Purchase
Agreement.

Definition of Terms:

Correction Costs:  Customer's or a third party's direct labor
costs and the cost of any material required to correct a Flight
Discrepancy where direct labor costs are equal to the warranty
labor rate in effect between the parties at the time such labor
is expended.

Flight Discrepancy:  A failure or malfunction of an Aircraft, or
the accessories, equipment or parts installed on the Aircraft
which results from a defect in the Aircraft, Boeing Product,
engine or Supplier Product or a nonconformance to the Detail
Specification for the Aircraft.

The AGTA provides that each aircraft will be test flown prior to
delivery for the purpose of demonstrating the functioning of such
Aircraft and its equipment to Customer; however, Customer may
elect to waive this test flight.  For each test flight waived,
Boeing agrees to provide Customer an amount of jet fuel at
delivery that, together with the standard fuel entitlement,
totals [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] U.S. gallons.

Further, Boeing agrees to reimburse Customer for any Correction
Costs incurred as a result of the discovery of a Flight
Discrepancy during the first flight of the aircraft by Customer
following delivery to the extent such Correction Costs are not
covered under a warranty provided by Boeing, the engine
manufacturer or any of Boeing's suppliers.

Should a Flight Discrepancy be detected by Customer which
requires the return of the Aircraft to Boeing's facilities at
Seattle, Washington, so that Boeing may correct such Flight
Discrepancy, Boeing and Customer agree that title to and risk of
loss of such Aircraft will remain with Customer.  Any such
correction by Boeing shall be at no cost to Customer.  In
addition, it is agreed that Boeing will have responsibility for
the Aircraft while it is on the ground at Boeing's facilities in
Seattle, Washington, as is chargeable by law to a bailee for
mutual benefit, but Boeing shall not be chargeable for loss of
use.

To be reimbursed for Correction Costs, Customer shall submit a
written itemized statement describing any flight discrepancies
and indicating the Correction Cost incurred by Customer for each
discrepancy.  This request must be submitted to Boeing's
Contracts Regional Director at Renton, Washington, within ninety
(90) days after the first flight by Customer.

Subject:       Installation of Cabin Systems Equipment

Reference:     Purchase Agreement No. 2061 (the Purchase
               Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and
               Continental Airlines, Inc. (Customer) relating to
               Model 777-200IGW aircraft (the Aircraft)


Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Letter Agreement amends and supplements the Purchase
Agreement.  All terms used but not defined in this Letter
Agreement have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

Customer has requested that Boeing install in the Aircraft the
inflight entertainment and cabin communications systems (IFE/CCS)
described in Attachment A to this Letter Agreement.

Because of the complexity of the IFE/CCS, special attention and
additional resources will be required during the development,
integration, certification, and manufacture of the Aircraft to
achieve proper operation of the IFE/CCS at the time of delivery
of the Aircraft.  To assist Customer, Boeing will perform the
functions of project manager (the Project Manager) as set forth
in Attachment B.

1.   Responsibilities.

     1.1   Customer will:

           1.1.1  Provide Customer's IFE/CCS system requirements
to Boeing;

           1.1.2  Select the IFE/CCS suppliers (Suppliers) from
among those suppliers identified in the Change Request/s/ listed
in Attachment A to this Letter Agreement;

           1.1.3  Promptly after selecting Suppliers, participate
with Boeing in meetings with Suppliers to ensure that Supplier's
functional system specifications meet Customer's and Boeing's
respective requirements;

           1.1.4  Select Supplier part numbers;

           1.1.5  Negotiate and obtain agreements on product
assurance, product support following Aircraft delivery (including
spares support), and any other special business arrangements
directly with Suppliers;

           1.1.6  Provide pricing information for part numbers
selected above to Boeing by a mutually selected date;

           1.1.7  Negotiate and obtain agreements with any
required service providers; and

           1.1.8  Include in Customer's contract with any seat
supplier a condition obligating such seat supplier to enter into
and comply with a Boeing approved bonded stores agreement.  This
bonded stores agreement will set forth the procedures concerning
the use, handling and storage for the Boeing owned IFE/CCS
equipment during the time such equipment is under the seat
supplier's control.

     1.2   Boeing will:

           1.2.1  Perform the Project Manager functions stated in
Attachment B;

           1.2.2  Provide Aircraft interface requirements to
Suppliers;

           1.2.3  Assist Suppliers in the development of their
IFE/CCS system specifications and approve such specifications;

           1.2.4  Negotiate terms and conditions (except for
price, product assurance, product support following Aircraft
delivery and any other special business arrangements) and enter
into contracts with Suppliers for the purchase of IFE/CCS and
manage such contracts for the IFE/CCS;

           1.2.5  Be responsible for ensuring that the Suppliers
deliver to Boeing on-dock requirements for those Supplier part
numbers which have been previously certified and remain unchanged
throughout the Boeing purchase contract period of performance.

           1.2.6  Coordinate the resolution of technical issues
with Suppliers;

           1.2.7  Ensure that at time of Aircraft delivery the
IFE/CCS configuration and functionality meets the requirements of
the Change Requests contained in Attachment A to this Letter
Agreement as such Attachment A may be amended from time to time;
and

           1.2.8  Obtain FAA certification of the Aircraft with
the IFE/CCS installed therein.

2.   Software.

     IFE/CCS systems may contain software of the following two
types.

     2.1   Systems Software.  The software required to operate
and certify the IFE/CCS systems on the Aircraft is the "Systems
Software" and is part of the IFE/CCS.

     2.2   Customer's Software.  The software accessible to the
Aircraft passengers which controls Customer's specified optional
features is "Customer's Software" and is not part of the IFE/CCS.

           2.2.1  Customer is solely responsible for specifying
Customer's Software functional and performance requirements and
ensuring that Customer's Software meets such requirements. 
Customer and Customer's Software supplier will have total
responsibility for the writing, certification, modification,
revision, or correction of any of Customer's Software.  Boeing
will not perform the functions and obligations described in
paragraph 1.2 above, nor the Project Manager's functions
described in Attachment B, for Customer's Software.

           2.2.2  The omission of any Customer's Software or the
lack of any functionality of Customer's Software will not be a
valid condition for Customer's rejection of the Aircraft at the
time of Aircraft delivery unless such omission or lack of
functionality is due to a breach by Boeing of its obligations
under this Purchase Agreement.

           2.2.3  Boeing has no obligation to approve any
documentation to support Customer's Software certification. 
Boeing will only review and operate Customer's Software if in
Boeing's reasonable opinion such review and operation is
necessary to certify the IFE/CCS system on the Aircraft.

           2.2.4  Boeing will not be responsible for obtaining
FAA certification for Customer's Software.

3.   Changes.

     3.1   After Boeing and Supplier have entered into a contract
for the purchase of the IFE/CCS, changes to such contract may
only be made by Boeing.  Any Customer request for changes to the
IFE/CCS specification after the Boeing/Supplier contract has been
signed must be made in writing directly to Boeing.  Boeing shall
respond to such request by Customer in a timely manner.  If such
change is technically feasible and Boeing has the resources and
time to incorporate such change, then Boeing shall negotiate with
the Supplier to incorporate such change into the contract for the
IFE/CCS.  Any Supplier price increase resulting from such a
change will be negotiated between Customer and Supplier.

     3.2   Boeing and Customer recognize that the developmental
nature of the IFE/CCS may require changes to the IFE/CCS or the
Aircraft in order to ensure (i) compatibility of the IFE/CCS with
the Aircraft and all other Aircraft systems, and (ii) FAA
certification of the Aircraft with the IFE/CCS installed therein. 
In such event Boeing will notify Customer and recommend to
Customer the most practical means for incorporating any such
change.  If within 15 days after such notification Customer and
Boeing through negotiations cannot mutually agree on the
incorporation of any such change or alternate course of action,
then the remedies available to Boeing in Paragraph 5 shall apply.

     3.3   The incorporation into the Aircraft of any mutually
agreed change to the IFE/CCS may result in Boeing adjusting the
price of the Change Request contained in Attachment A to this
Letter Agreement.

     3.4   Boeing's obligation to obtain FAA certification of the
Aircraft with the IFE/CCS installed is limited to the IFE/CCS as
described in Attachment A, as Attachment A may be amended from
time to time.

     3.5   Boeing shall notify Customer in a timely manner in the
event of a default by a Supplier under the Supplier's contract
with Boeing.  Within 15 days of Customer's receipt of such
notification, Boeing and Customer shall agree through
negotiations on an alternative Supplier or other course of
action.  If Boeing and Customer are unable to agree on an
alternative Supplier or course of action within such time, the
remedies available to Boeing in Paragraph 5 shall apply.

4.   Exhibits B and C to the AGTA.

     IFE/CCS is deemed to be BFE for the purposes of Exhibit B,
Customer Support Document, and Exhibit C, the Product Assurance
Document, of the AGTA.

5.   Boeing's Remedies.

     If Customer does not comply with any of its obligations set
forth herein, Boeing may:

     5.1   delay delivery of the Aircraft pursuant to the
provisions of Article 7, Excusable Delay, of the AGTA; or

     5.2   deliver the Aircraft without part or all of the
IFE/CCS installed, or with part or all of the IFE/CCS
inoperative.

Boeing may also increase the Aircraft Price by the amount of
Boeing's additional out-of-pocket costs, including but not
limited to extra engineering costs, factory disruption costs, and
storage costs, attributable to such noncompliance.

6.   Advance Payments.

     6.1   Estimated Price for the IFE/CCS.  An estimated price
for the IFE/CCS purchased by Boeing will be included in the
Aircraft Advance Payment Base Price to establish the advance
payments for each Aircraft.  The estimated price for the Boeing
purchased IFE/CCS installed on each Aircraft by Change Request
2300CH7324 is [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST
FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] U.S. dollars expressed in 1995
dollars.

     6.2   Aircraft Price.  The Aircraft Price will include the
actual IFE/CCS prices and any associated transportation costs
charged Boeing by Suppliers.

7.   Customer's Indemnification of Boeing.

     Customer will indemnify and hold harmless Boeing from and
against all claims and liabilities, including costs and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incident thereto or incident to
successfully establishing the right to indemnification, for
injury to or death of any person or persons, including employees
of Customer but not employees of Boeing, or for loss of or damage
to any property, including Aircraft, arising out of or in any way
connected with any nonconformance or defect in any IFE/CCS, and
whether or not arising in tort or occasioned in whole or in part
by the negligence of Boeing, whether active, passive or imputed.
This indemnity will not apply with respect to any nonconformance
or defect caused solely by Boeing's handling or installation of

1997, furnish to Customer a listing of all components which could
be included in the Quick Engine Change (QEC) kits which may be
purchased by Customer from Boeing.  Customer agrees to review
such listing and indicate by marking on one copy of such listing
those components that Customer desires included in its QEC kits. 
Customer will return such marked copy to Boeing within 30 days
after Customer's receipt of such listing.  Within 30 days after
Boeing's receipt of such marked copy, Boeing will republish such
listing to reflect only those components selected by Customer and
will provide copies of such republished listing to Customer. 
Boeing will from time to time furnish revisions to such
republished listing until a date approximately 90 days after
delivery of the last QEC kit ordered by Customer for the
Aircraft.  Boeing will furnish to Customer as soon as practicable
a statement setting forth a firm price for the QEC kit
configuration selected by Customer.  Customer agrees to place
orders with Boeing for the QEC kits for the Aircraft by  December
15, 1997.

     4.6  Payment for Provisioning Items.  The payment provisions
of the Customer Services General Terms Agreement (CSGTA) between

Boeing will deliver to Customer new and usable Spare Parts in
substitution for such obsolete or unusable Spare Parts and
Customer will return the obsolete or unusable Spare Parts to
Boeing.  Boeing will credit Customer's account with Boeing with
the price paid by Customer for any such obsolete or unusable
Spare Part and will invoice Customer for the purchase price of
any such substitute Spare Part delivered to Customer.

     6.2  Delivery of Obsolete Spare Parts and Substitutes
Therefor.  Obsolete or unusable Spare Parts returned by Customer
pursuant to this Item will be delivered to Boeing at its Seattle

7.   Repurchase of Provisioning Items.

     7.1  Obligation to Repurchase.  During a period commencing 1
year after delivery of the first Aircraft under the Purchase
Agreement, and ending 5 years after such delivery, Boeing will,
upon receipt of Customer's written request and subject to the
exceptions in Paragraph 7.2, Exceptions, repurchase unused and
undamaged Provisioning Items which (i) were recommended by Boeing
in the Provisioning Data as initial provisioning for the
Aircraft, (ii) were purchased by Customer from Boeing, and (iii)
are surplus to Customer's needs.

     7.2  Exceptions.  Boeing will not be obligated under
Paragraph 7.1, Obligation to Repurchase, to repurchase any of the
following:  (i) quantities of Provisioning Items in excess of
those quantities recommended by Boeing in the Provisioning Data
for the Aircraft, (ii) QEC Kits, bulk material kits, raw material
kits, service bulletin kits, standards kits and components
thereof (except those components listed separately in the
Provisioning Data), (iii) Provisioning Items for which an Order
was received by Boeing more than 8 months after delivery of the
last Aircraft, (iv) Provisioning Items which have become obsolete
or have been replaced by other Provisioning Items as a result of
(a) Customer's modification of the Aircraft or (b) design
improvements by Boeing or the vendor (other than Provisioning
Items which have become obsolete because of a defect in design if
such defect has not been remedied by an offer by Boeing or the
vendor to provide no charge retrofit kits or replacement parts
which correct such defect), and (v) Provisioning Items which
become excess as a result of a change in Customer's operating
parameters, provided to Boeing pursuant to the Initial
Provisioning meeting in Paragraph 2, which were the basis of
Boeing's initial provisioning recommendations for the Aircraft.

     7.3  Notification and Format.  Customer will notify Boeing,
in writing, when Customer desires to return Provisioning Items
which Customer's review indicates are eligible for repurchase by
Boeing under the provisions of this Repurchase of Provisioning
Items paragraph.  Customer's notification will include a detailed
summary, in part number sequence, of the Provisioning Items
Customer desires to return.  Such summary will be in the form of
listings, tapes, diskettes or other media as may be mutually
agreed between Boeing and Customer, and will include part number,
nomenclature, purchase order number, purchase order date and
quantity to be returned. Within 5 business days after receipt of
Customer's notification, Boeing will advise Customer, in writing,
when Boeing's review of such summary will be completed, but in no
case will the Boeing review be completed more than 30 days after
receipt of Customer's notification.

     7.4  Review and Acceptance by Boeing.  Upon completion of
Boeing's review of any detailed summary submitted by Customer
pursuant to Paragraph 7.3, Boeing will issue to Customer a
Material Return Authorization (MRA) for those Provisioning Items
Boeing agrees are eligible for repurchase in accordance with this
Repurchase of Provisioning Items paragraph.  Boeing will advise
Customer of the reason that any spare part included in Customer's
detailed summary is not eligible for return.  Boeing's MRA will
state the date by which Provisioning Items listed in the MRA must
be redelivered to Boeing and Customer will arrange for shipment
of such Provisioning Items accordingly.

     7.5  Price and Payment.  The price of each Provisioning Item
repurchased by Boeing pursuant to this Repurchase of Provisioning
Items paragraph will be an amount equal to [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL
OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] of
the original invoice price thereof.  In the case of Provisioning
Items manufactured by a vendor which were purchased pursuant to
Paragraph 4, Purchase from Boeing of Spare Parts as Initial
Provisioning for the Aircraft, hereof the repurchase price will
not include Boeing's [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT
TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] handling charge.  Boeing
will pay the repurchase price by issuing a credit memorandum in
favor of Customer which may be applied against amounts due Boeing
for the purchase of aircraft, Spare Parts, services or data.

     7.6  Delivery of Provisioning Items. Provisioning Items
repurchased by Boeing pursuant to this Repurchase of Provisioning
Items paragraph will be delivered to Boeing at its Seattle

reasonably designate.  Boeing  will pay the freight charges for
the shipment from Customer to Boeing of any such Provisioning
Items.

8.   Obsolete Spare Parts and Surplus Provisioning Items - Title
and Risk of Loss.

     Title to and risk of loss of any obsolete or unusable Spare
Parts returned to Boeing pursuant to Paragraph 6, Substitution
for Obsolete Spare Parts, will pass to Boeing upon delivery
thereof to Boeing.  Title to and risk of loss of any Spare Part
substituted for an obsolete or unusable Spare Part pursuant to
Paragraph 6, Substitution for Obsolete Spare Parts, will pass to
Customer upon delivery thereof to Customer.  Title to and risk of
loss of any Provisioning Item repurchased by Boeing pursuant to
Paragraph 7, Repurchase of Provisioning Items,  will pass to
Boeing upon delivery thereof to Boeing.  With respect to the
obsolete or unusable Spare Parts which may be returned to Boeing
and the Spare Parts substituted therefor, pursuant to
Paragraph 6, and the Provisioning Items which may be repurchased
by Boeing, pursuant to Paragraph 7, the party which has risk of
loss of any such Spare Part or Provisioning Item will have the
responsibility of providing any insurance coverage for it desired
by such party.

9.   Supplier Support.

     Boeing has entered, or anticipates entering, into product
support agreements with suppliers (Boeing Suppliers) of major
system components manufactured by such Suppliers to be installed
on the Aircraft (Supplier Components).  Such product support
agreements commit, or are expected to commit, the Boeing
Suppliers to provide to Boeing's customers and/or such customer's
designees support services with respect to the Supplier
Components which can be reasonably expected to be required during
the course of normal operation.  This support includes but is not
limited to shelf-stock of certain spare parts, emergency spare
parts, timely delivery of spare parts, and technical data related
to the Supplier Components.  Copies of such product support
agreements will be provided to Customer on or about January 15,
1998 in Boeing Document D6-56115, Volumes 1 and 2.  In the event
Customer has used due diligence in attempting to resolve any
difficulty arising in normal business transactions between
Customer and a Boeing Supplier with respect to product support
for a Supplier Component manufactured by such Supplier and if
such difficulty remains unresolved, Boeing will, if requested by
Customer, assist Customer in resolving such difficulty. 
Assistance will be provided by the Spares Supplier Support and
Data Management Organization within the Boeing Buyer Services
Division.

10.  Termination for Excusable Delay.

     In the event of termination of the Purchase Agreement with
respect to any Aircraft pursuant to Article 7 of the AGTA, such
termination will, if Customer so requests by written notice
received by Boeing within 15 days after such termination, also
discharge and terminate all obligations and liabilities of the
parties as to any Spare Parts which Customer had ordered pursuant
to the provisions of this letter as initial provisioning for such
Aircraft and which are undelivered on the date Boeing receives
such written notice.

                  Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing)
                  and Continental Airlines, Inc. (Customer)
                  relating to Model 777-200IGW aircraft (the
                  Aircraft)


Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Letter Agreement amends and supplements the Purchase
Agreement.  All terms used but not defined in this Letter
Agreement shall have the same meaning as in the Purchase
Agreement.

Definition of Terms:

Flight Crew Training:  Flight training occurring immediately
following delivery using Boeing facilities.

Removed Parts:  Parts removed from an Aircraft during Flight Crew
Training.

Replacement Parts:  Parts taken from Boeing inventory and
installed in an Aircraft because no Standby Parts are available.

Standby Parts:  Parts which are owned by Customer and located at
Customer's designated storage area at Boeing to support Flight
Crew Training.  The Standby Parts list, including part numbers,
exact quantities and on-dock dates, will be established during
the spares provisioning meeting.

Training Aircraft:  The Aircraft delivered to Customer used for
Flight Crew Training.

1.   Provisioning of Spare Parts

     To support Flight Crew Training, Boeing agrees to provide
normal line maintenance and expendable spare parts at no charge
on the Training Aircraft; and, Customer agrees to provide Standby
Parts for the Training Aircraft.
     
     If parts other than those discussed above fail, Boeing will
attempt to provide Replacement Parts for those failed parts in
order to prevent extended down time on the Training Aircraft.  If
Boeing is unable to provide Replacement Parts, Customer will be
responsible for providing those parts.

2.   Disposition of Removed Parts

     Boeing may with Customer consent either:
     
          (i)     repair such Removed Parts, at no charge to
     Customer, and either retain such parts as Standby Parts or
     return the Removed Parts to Customer, at Customer expense;
     or
     
          (ii)    return the Removed Parts to Customer at
     Customer's expense; or
     
          (iii)   return the Removed Parts to the manufacturer
     for repair or replacement under such manufacturer's
     warranty.  Upon Boeing's receipt of the repaired Removed
     Parts or their replacements, Boeing may retain such Removed
     Parts or their replacements as Standby Parts or return such
     Removed Parts or their replacements to Customer, at
     Customer's expense.  Any Removed Parts returned to Customer,
     or replacements, will be accomplished in accordance with any
     written instructions from Customer received by Boeing prior
     to such return.
     
3.   Payment for Replacement Parts
     
     Boeing will invoice Customer for Replacement Parts at
[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] for such part. 
     
4.   Redelivery of Standby Parts
     
     Standby Parts not installed in the Training Aircraft will be
redelivered to Customer on board the last aircraft used for
Flight Crew Training.
     
5.   Non-performance by Customer
     
     If Customer's non-performance of obligations in this Letter
Agreement causes a delay in the Flight Crew Training, Customer
will be deemed to have agreed to any such delay in Flight Crew
Training.  In addition, Boeing will have the right to:
     
          (i)  purchase Standby Parts and invoice Customer for
          the price of such Parts and for any necessary
          adjustment and calibration of such Parts; or

          (ii)  cancel or reschedule the Flight Crew Training; or

          (iii)  invoice Customer for any out-of-pocket expenses,
          including but not limited to ground handling expenses,
          maintenance costs and storage costs, that are directly
          attributable to the delay in the Flight Crew Training.
     
6.   Customer Warranty
     
     Customer warrants that the Standby Parts will meet the
requirements of the Detail Specification and be in a condition to
pass Boeing's receival inspection and functional test, and if not
in a new condition, will have an attached FAA Serviceable Parts
Tag.
     
7.   Title and Risk of Loss
     
     Title to and risk of loss of any Standby Parts or Removed
Parts will remain with Customer.  Boeing will have only such
liability for Standby Parts and Removed Parts as a bailee for
mutual benefit would have, but will not be liable for loss of
use.  For Replacement Parts, title will transfer to Customer at
the time such part is installed on the Training Aircraft.

pay interest on all amounts which are deferred pursuant to
Paragraph 3.1 of this Letter Agreement at [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL
OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]. 
Such interest shall accrue from and include the date on which
such payments would have been due but for the execution of this
Letter Agreement to but excluding the date on which such amounts
are paid in full.  Interest shall be due and payable on the first
business day of each calendar quarter and on the delivery date of
any Aircraft that had a deferred advance payment schedule. 
(Note:  the interest rate as determined above will be use for the
entire calendar quarter; e.g., the interest rate determined based

of any interest that has accrued prior to the start of the delay

comes first.

an invoice for interest accrued during each such quarter. 
Customer's payment is due and payable to Boeing on the first
business day of the following month.  Boeing's invoice will show

advance payments have been deferred.  The invoice will also
include interest accrued on deferred advance payments with

contained in this Letter Agreement, including any attachments
hereto, are considered by both parties to be confidential.
