customer counts at ExpressJet Airlines, and we are delighted to
honor our one-millionth customer today," said Jim Ream, ExpressJet
President and CEO. Earlier this year, ExpressJet Airlines began
flying non-stop under its own brand to 24 markets across the West,
Midwest and Southeastern U.S. Next week, ExpressJet Airlines
expands non-stop service with three new markets, Long Beach, Santa
Barbara and Reno-Tahoe. While handing out a round-trip ticket
voucher to the one-millionth customer and thanking him for his
business, Ream said the real stars of the day were ExpressJet
employees. "ExpressJet's people have risen to the occasion to
launch a new brand of flying in all of the cities where we have
introduced service," Ream said. "At the same time, they continued
to give customers an excellent experience, whether they fly with us
as Continental Express, Delta Connection or on a charter aircraft."
ExpressJet Airlines is one of the world's largest regional airlines
and has operated successfully as Continental Express, serving over
150 destinations for more than 10 years. ExpressJet also has been
named twice to Fortune Magazine's "Most Admired Airlines" list. "We
have an impressive track record," Ream said. "But today, I
especially want to recognize all the hard work each employee does
to make this airline successful." Even when employees' efforts go
unrecognized because they work behind the scenes, "it all adds up,"
Ream said. About ExpressJet ExpressJet Holdings operates numerous
