NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--US Helicopter Corporation ("US Helicopter") (OTC Bulletin Board: USHP - News) and Continental Airlines (NYSE: CAL - News) today announced a partnership to provide eight-minute shuttle service between Manhattan and Newark Liberty International Airport beginning Dec. 18.
"Time is money," remarks US Helicopter's Chief Executive Officer and President Jerry Murphy. "With US Helicopter's Eight-Minute Airport Shuttle, Newark now becomes a fast and easy option for time-sensitive business travelers coming in and out of Manhattan."

Bags checked at the heliport will be through-checked to the Continental Airlines passenger's final travel destination. After the eight-minute flight to Newark Liberty, customers will arrive at a dedicated US Helicopter parking location on the secure side of Terminal C where they will be able to proceed directly to the departure gate for their Continental Airlines flight.
Continental customers arriving at Newark Liberty Airport and traveling on US Helicopter's service to Manhattan will proceed to US Helicopter's departure gate 71 at Terminal C. Baggage will be automatically transferred via US Helicopter flight to the heliport in Manhattan.
In addition to commuting between Newark Liberty Airport and Manhattan, US Helicopter's new service will also allow customers to travel to Connecticut's Bridgeport Sikorsky Memorial Airport in 37 minutes, serving Fairfield and New Haven Counties and John F.
