Continental Airlines (NYSE: CAL) today announced plans to begin nonstop service between Newark International Airport and Santiago in the Dominican Republic. Daily service will begin in November 1, 2002, subject to government approval.

"Passenger traffic to the cities of Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata in Dominican Republic has been strong," said Continental Managing Director of Route Planning Karen Warkentin. "Expanding service to include Santiago is the next logical step in building our presence in that important market."

Flights will be on a 155-seat Boeing 737-800 following this proposed schedule: 

Departs Arrives Departs Arrives
Newark Santiago Santiago Newark 
6:30 p.m. 10:10 p.m. 8:00 a.m. 12:00 p.m. 

Continental's well-timed flights between the New York area and Santiago will provide convenient connections with much of the airline's extensive domestic and international network.

Continental Airlines is the fifth largest airline in the U.S., offering more than 2,000 departures daily to 126 domestic and 89 international destinations. Operating hubs in New York, Houston, Cleveland and Guam, Continental serves more international cities than any other U.S. carrier, including extensive service throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia.
