Continental Airlines gets tentative approval for Shanghai route

Monday 25/09/2017 - Source: Just 4 Airlines


Continental Airlines today praised the Department of Transportation's (DOT) tentative decision to award Continental authority to operate daily nonstop service between New York/Newark and Shanghai and through flight service between Cleveland and Shanghai beginning March 2009.

"This is a win for Continental's customers, co-workers, and each of these communities," said Larry Kellner, Continental's chairman and chief executive officer. "I want to give a special thanks to my co-workers and to the many parties whose unrelenting support made this service a reality."

Continental's new route connecting New York/Newark and Shanghai will provide nonstop flights to the largest U.S.-China market that today lacks daily service. The new route will also provide vast single connecting opportunities from the airline's New York/New Jersey hub at Newark Liberty, in addition to through flight service between northern Ohio and Shanghai.

Continental commended the Department of Transportation for liberalizing the U.S.-China bilateral agreement and for providing the opportunities for new China service that the airline has been awarded today. Continental also thanks all of the parties whose wide-ranging and significant support was critical to the airline's efforts to secure this route award, including Continental's employees, customers, and the airline's travel, congressional, state and local government, and business partners.
