Continental Micronesia

Encyclopedia : C : CO : CON : Continental Micronesia


Continental Micronesia, formerly known as Air Micronesia, is a subsidiary of Continental Airlines.

Its nickname is "Air Mike", which doubles as their callsign. While completely controlled by Continental, its operations are autonomous. The airline maintains its hub at Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport in the US territory of Guam in the western Pacific Ocean.

History

The airline was established in 1968 and started operations on 16 May 1968 as Air Micronesia.

The airline formerly maintained its own IATA code (CS) and ICAO designator (CMI), though Continental Airlines has since folded its Micronesia operations into its mainline service under the CO/COA codes.
