HOUSTON, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Continental Airlines (CAL) said on Monday that
it would defer delivery of 28 of 48 Boeing Co. (BA) aircraft that it was
scheduled to receive in 2002, finalizing a previously announced rescheduling
of orders.

Continental, the No. 5 U.S. air carrier, said the airline has received seven
of 20 planned aircraft deliveries so far this year. Continental plans to
take two 777-200ERs, 10 767-400ERs, two 757-300s, two 737-900s and four
737-800s in 2002.

The 28 deferred aircraft, along with Continental's other 39 outstanding
orders, are to be delivered from late 2003 through mid 2008, the carrier
said. Continental has a fleet of 356 jets and Continental Express has 142
regional jets and 33 turboprops.
