Continental Airlines to start Newark-Mumbai flights

Continental Airlines Inc. said it is starting daily nonstop flights between Newark, N.J. and Mumbai, India on Oct. 30. The flight from Newark Libery International Airport will be timed to provide connections at the airport with more than 230 other locations in the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. Service on the more than 14-hour flight to India will be provided by Boeing 777-200 planes, according to the company. "Mumbai is the largest trans-Atlantic market not currently served by Continental and offers significant opportunities for growth in the future," Jim Compton, executive vice president of marketing, said in a statement. The airline has operated nonstop service between New York and Delhi since 2005. The new service is subject to government approval.
