Does any one know more about the rumours of Continental and Express Jet expanding at LAX - WhiskeyDelta perhaps.

Also what are their current routes at LAX

CO pretty much only serves their hub cities, which are EWR, IAH, and CLE. They also serve HNL nonstop. I'm pretty sure those are their only 4 non-stop destinations from LAX.

I know they had launches service to 3 Mexican destinations and somewhere called Montrose. Guam is one stop via Hawaii. Rumours of new destinations - perhaps Mexico City as there is CO service to there from Laredo, San Antonio, IAH and EWR - or are there two US carriers on this route already?

I was unaware of any CO routes to Mexico from LAX, which doesn't mean they don't exist. I know Mexicana, AeroMexico, AeroCalifornia, and Alaska all have several Mexican destinations/frequencies from LAX. The Mexican destinations are lucrative from LAX, given the huge number of Mexicans in the greater L.A. area.

The mexican destinations were announced about a month ago, maybe a bit earlier than that

You are correct, 3 Mexico destinations and Montrose, Colorado started this month out of LAX. Larado and LAX have also been added to our Mexico City connections out of the US (San Antonio and McAllen, Texas). There are rumors of many more Mexico destinations out of LAX as well as the possibility of continuing flights out of several Mexico destinations to Central and South America cities. All this growth is with ExpressJet Airlines and not CO.

I believe we now serve more cities in Mexico than AeroMexico or Mexicana Airlines (somewhere over 30 total cities).
