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 “economic challengesâ€.
“Our 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 City’s needs,†said Larry Kellner, Continental’s chairman and CEO. “We are investing in this service because of its potential,†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.
