2010-10-28 23:42:04 GMT+7 (ICT)

CHICAGO (BNO NEWS) – Continental Airlines on Thursday announced that it will inaugurate a fifth daily flight from its New York hub at Newark Liberty International Airport to London's Heathrow Airport.

Continental Airlines, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of United Continental Holdings and operates the largest hub in the New York City metropolitan area at Newark Liberty International Airport, Inc., will begin the flights on Saturday.

The additional flight offers Continental customers a new late-evening departure from New York/Newark, while the westbound schedule now features an early-morning departure from Heathrow.

"The fifth daily New York/Newark-Heathrow service enables Continental to offer its customers on this flagship route a choice of flights at popular times of the day," said Jim Compton, executive vice president and chief revenue officer of United Continental Holdings, Inc.

"With this improved schedule and all our Heathrow flights featuring flat-bed seats in our award-winning BusinessFirst cabin, Continental has a highly attractive offering on the New York-London route, one of the most competitive routes in the world."

In addition to offering several options for New York-London travel, the flights provide connections at Heathrow to an extensive network of service throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The airline also operates two daily flights from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, its largest hub, to Heathrow.

Continental's Heathrow flights are operated using two aircraft types: the 276-seat Boeing 777-200, carrying 50 passengers in the BusinessFirst cabin and 226 in Economy; and the 175-seat Boeing 757-200, with 16 BusinessFirst seats and 159 Economy seats.
