Heisann!

Der var den! Tommy777 her er en av de nye rutene! Disse flightene, samme som EWR-DEL vil passere over Norge...:-p

CO will launch daily nonstop flights between EWR and Mumbai beginning Oct. 30, 2007, subject to government approval. CO has operated nonstop service between New York and Delhi since 2005.

The new service will link the world’s financial center and top business and tourism destination with India’s commercial and entertainment capital. The flight will be timed to provide convenient connections at CO’s New York hub with more than 230 other cities throughout the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean.

“We are excited about extending our Indian route network to include nonstop service to Mumbai,” said Marketing Executive VP Jim Compton. “Mumbai is the largest trans-Atlantic market not currently served by Continental and offers significant opportunities for growth in the future.”

Mumbai will be the 30th city in CO’s trans-Atlantic route network. Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is the business and entertainment capital of India and its most populous city, with an estimated population of 13 million (25 million in the greater metropolitan area). Many financial institutions and corporations have their headquarters in Mumbai, which is also home to the world-famous Bollywood film and television industry.

CO’s New York/Newark-Mumbai flights will be operated with Boeing 777-200 aircraft with BusinessFirst and Economy cabins. Flying times will be approximately 14 hours and 50 minutes eastbound, and 16 hours and 15 minutes westbound. CO’s India flights feature special products and services for customers. A Bollywood movie channel is featured on the inflight entertainment system.
