Continental hipp på Asia
Fra Houston Chronicle, 07APR:
Looking to Asia for higher profits, Continental is planning nonstop service from the East Coast to New Delhi this fall and is taking another run at nonstop flights to Shanghai. The airline said Thursday if wins approval from the DOT, it will introduce nonstop flights from Newark to Shanghai in March 2007. Earlier this year, regulators turned Continental down for a Shanghai route, granting permission to American Airlines, instead. Another Shanghai route is opening up, however, and Continental is trying again. Continental already has received permission for nonstop flights from Newark to Beijing. Continental said Wednesday that its Newark-New Delhi service, scheduled to start Oct 31 pending govt approval, will be the first nonstop flights between the US and India. The nonstop service will reduce the travel time between New York and New Delhi by more than two hours.
