Continental Airlines
has announced plans to launch nonstop flights between Newark Liberty
and Cairo, Egypt, beginning May 18, 2011, subject to government
approval.
Cairo, the largest city in Africa and the Middle East, will be the 72nd international destination that Continental serves from its New York hub at Newark Liberty International Airport and the 30th city in Continental's trans-Atlantic route network.
Continental serves more nonstop destinations with more flights from the New York area than any other airline.
Cairo is the third new international destination Continental
has announced since May -- the airline plans to begin daily service
from its Houston hub to Lagos, Nigeria, beginning Nov. 10, 2011, and
service to Auckland, New Zealand, beginning Nov. 16, 2011, subject to
government approval.
