Continental Airlines to launch daily nonstop flights between Houston and Queretaro, Mexico

Continental Airlines is to begin a daily nonstop service from George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston to Queretaro, Mexico, on March 17, 2005, pending government approval.

Queretaro will be Continental’s 30th destination in Mexico.

Queretaro, located in central Mexico, has been the site of many key events in the country’s history. Today the city is a strong manufacturing center with many businesses dedicated to serving the automobile industry and other industries.

“Continental is the leader in providing business travel to Mexico,” said Pete Garcia, Staff Vice President, Latin America. “More than 100 U.S.-based companies, particularly in Detroit, the Midwest and East Coast, have manufacturing operations or do business in Queretaro. Our new daily, nonstop flight will provide them, as well as Mexican residents of the U.S., with convenient travel options.”

Continental Express will utilize the Embraer regional jet on its daily nonstop service between Houston and Queretaro. The 50-seat jet features jet-bridge loading, a fully equipped galley, a spacious lavatory, and a comfortable interior with only window and aisle seating.
