ExpressJet still operates under the original Federal Aviation Administration Part 121 certificate issued to Britt. It began operations as Continental Express in April 1987 and was later acquired by Continental Airlines. It became ExpressJet and subsequently the operating subsidiary of ExpressJet Holdings, Inc following an initial public offering in April 2002.
