Continental to Fly Newark-Athens
Tuesday January 16, 2:43 pm ET Continental Airlines to Start Direct Newark-Athens Flights This Summer
ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Trans-Atlantic air connections to Athens will be bolstered this summer with the addition of new direct flights from the New York metropolitan area to the Greek capital, Continental Airlines Inc. announced Tuesday.
The nonstop flights to Newark, N.J., will be inaugurated on June 8 and will continue daily through the summer season. During the fall and spring seasons -- September-October and March-April respectively -- the flights will run five times weekly, while the Houston-based carrier will operate three flights a week from November to March.
The announcement follows U.S. Airways Group Inc.'s recent announcement that it will begin direct flights to Athens and two other European destinations this summer from Philadelphia.
