Continental transfers another service to Heathrow

Continental Airlines will switch its daily non-stop Cleveland flights from London Gatwick to Heathrow on May 3.

The airline is also scrapping its flights from Cleveland to Paris Charles de Gaulle due to ââ¬Åâœeconomic challengesââ¬~.

ââ¬ÅâœOur Cleveland customers have told us they want non-stop service to Heathrow, the most important business airport in Europe , and we are delighted to be able to meet the Cityââ¬â¢s needs,ââ¬~ said Larry Kellner, Continentalââ¬â¢s chairman and CEO. ââ¬ÅâœWe are investing in this service because of its potential,ââ¬~ he said.

The new Heathrow service will operate throughout the summer until September 27 .

Flights will depart Cleveland daily at 8:25 p.m. and arrive in London at 9:15 a.m. the next morning. The return flights will depart London daily at 11:40 a.m. and arrive in Cleveland at 3:30 p.m. the same day.

The service will be operated by Boeing 757 aircraft, seating 16 passengers in a BusinessFirst cabin and 159 passengers in economy.
