Continental Airlines to operate New York-Mumbai direct flights

World’s fifth largest airline company Continental Airlines has said that they would soon launch daily flights to Mumbai from New York.

This new flight is expected to be launched in October this year. The airline company is already operating a direct New York-New Delhi flight.

The company said that these upcoming flights between its New York area hub at Newark Liberty International Airport and Mumbai will be timed to provide convenient connections at Continental’s New York hub. Travelers would get connecting flights to more than 230 other cities throughout the US, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Jim Compton, Continental’s executive vice president-marketing added: “We are excited about extending our Indian route network to include non-stop service to Mumbai. Mumbai is the largest trans-Atlantic market not currently served by Continental and offers significant opportunities for growth in the future.”
