Munich gains Continental

CONTINENTAL AIRLINES is to launch a daily non-stop service between its New York hub at Newark Liberty International Airport and Munich, effective 27 March 2010.  Flight CO106, a Boeing 767, will depart Newark daily at 17:25 local and arrive in Munich at 07:50 the following morning.  The return departs 09:20 arriving 12:35.  The schedule  complements new Star Alliance partner Lufthansa's existing daily New York-Newark – Munich service, which departs Newark Liberty about three hours later and Munich about six hours later.  It is very likely that the new flights will be introduced with Continental’s latest BusinessFirst seats already fitted (see 9 November AERBT).  Continental currently offers non-stop service between New York-Newark and Frankfurt, Berlin and Hamburg.  The airline launched a service from Houston to Frankfurt on 1 November this year.  Munich will be the 30th destination in Continental's trans-Atlantic route network. www.continental.com
