sembra ormai prossimo l'annuncio anche di un CPH-EWR di CO con 752 (completerebbe così il quadro scandinavo visto che volano già a OSL e a ARN)

Mi quoto...........et voilà


COPENHAGEN (AFX) - Copenhagen Airports AS said Continental Airlines Inc will start a direct route from Kastrup Airport to Newark Liberty International Airport on May 24 next year.
There will be one flight each way a day.


Questo nuovo volo di CO segue solo di una settimana la notizia dell'apertura del ATL-CPH da parte di DL. Da 0 a 2 compagnie USA nel giro di una settimana.

Ricordo inoltre che CO è in ballo con l'apertura di un Newark-Mosca e DL di un NewYork-Kiev , entrambe le rotte soggette ad approvazione governativa.

Continental Airlines Announces Daily Nonstop Service Between New York and Copenhagen, Denmark

Flights to Begin From Newark Liberty International Airport in May 2006

NEW YORK, Sept. 29 PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Continental Airlines (NYSE: CAL), today announced it will launch daily nonstop flights between New York and Copenhagen, Denmark starting on May 23, 2006 pending government approval.

Continental Flight CO122 will depart New York/Newark daily at 7:10 p.m. and arrive at Copenhagen at 9:05 a.m. the next day. Flight CO123 will depart Copenhagen daily at 10:25 a.m., arriving at New York/Newark at 1:20 p.m. the same day. Flying times will be approximately seven hours and 55 minutes traveling east and 8 hours and 55 minutes west. The frequency of the service will be reduced to five flights weekly during winter to take into account the traditional seasonal reduction in demand.

"Continental already serves more European cities than any other U.S. airline and Copenhagen, as one of the region's major hub airports, will be an important addition to our route network," said Jim Summerford, Continental's Vice President - Europe, Middle East & India. "We are very excited about the prospect of introducing our award-winning service to Danish travelers."

Continental's New York/Newark-Copenhagen flights will be operated with a 172-seat Boeing 757-200 aircraft, carrying 16 passengers in the BusinessFirst cabin and 156 in economy.

The new flights will feature Continental's renowned BusinessFirst service, which has won the Best Executive/Business Class award in the OAG Airline of the Year Awards in each of the past three years (2005, 2004 and 2003), based on voting by frequent flyers worldwide. BusinessFirst was also voted Best Transatlantic Business Class among U.S. airlines in Conde Nast Traveler magazine's Business Travel Awards 2004 -- for the seventh year running.

This premium-class cabin features extra-wide electronic sleeper seats with 56-inch pitch, adjustable winged headrests and personal video screens. Other BusinessFirst amenities include gourmet menus and award-winning wines and champagnes. A specially selected and trained corps of Concierges provides individualized pre-flight and post-flight services for BusinessFirst customers at 26 key international airports worldwide.

Copenhagen is a popular tourist destination and the main cruise port of Scandinavia. Last year almost 300,000 Americans visited Copenhagen. This year the number of American tourists visiting Denmark is expected to rise by 12 percent.

Greater Copenhagen is home to 41 percent of Danish-registered companies. The city's business strengths lie particularly in energy, design, information technology, biotechnological and medical research, telecommunications, environmental technology and tourism.

Copenhagen will become the 27th city in Continental's trans-Atlantic route network, and its third destination in Scandinavia. The airline has served Oslo since 2004 and started service to Stockholm in June 2005.

In addition, Continental and Maersk Air of Denmark code share on Maersk Air's flights between Copenhagen and Billund. Members of Continental's frequent flyer program, OnePass, can earn and redeem miles on Continental codeshare flights operated by Maersk Air.

Continental Airlines is the world's sixth-largest airline. Continental, together with Continental Express and Continental Connection, has more than 3,100 daily departures throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia, serving 150 domestic and 131 international destinations, more than any other carrier in the world. Nearly 400 additional points are served via SkyTeam alliance airlines, which include Aeromexico, Air France/KLM, Alitalia, CSA Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Korean Air and Northwest Airlines. With 41,000 employees, Continental has hubs serving New York, Houston, Cleveland and Guam, and together with Continental Express, carries approximately 56 million passengers per year. Continental consistently earns awards and critical acclaim for both its operation and its corporate culture.

For the second consecutive year, FORTUNE magazine named Continental the No. 1 Most Admired Global Airline on its 2005 list of Most Admired Global Companies. Continental was also included in the publication's annual "Top 50" list, which ranks all companies, across a wide variety of industries, that appear in the Global Most Admired Companies issue. Continental again won major awards at the 2005 OAG Airline of the Year Awards including "Airline of the Year" and "Best Airline Based in North America" for the second consecutive year, and "Best Executive/Business Class" for the third consecutive year.

Delta to Begin Historic, First Nonstop Service between Atlanta and Tel Aviv

Flights connect business, religious, leisure and cargo customers with U.S. Southeast and Israel

ATLANTA, Oct. 6, 2005 – Beginning next spring, Delta Air Lines’ (NYSEDAL) customers will be part of history when the airline starts the only nonstop service between the U.S. Southeast and Israel. On March 27, 2006 Delta will begin daily service between Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Tel Aviv Ben Gurion Airport, Israel, as part of its ongoing international expansion to popular global business and tourist destinations.

“As part of our stepped up transformation plan, Delta is expanding to the world’s high-potential business and leisure destinations where our customers want to travel,” said Delta’s Chief Executive Officer Gerald Grinstein. “This new service makes Atlanta the second U.S. city with nonstop service to Israel and bolsters Hartsfield-Jackson’s status as the pre-eminent gateway to America for global travelers. We expect Delta’s presence in the U.S.-Tel Aviv market to enhance economic growth and tourism opportunities for both the U.S. and Israel.”

Delta’s newest international service builds on a wave of expansion planned for 2006 between Georgia and the world, including recently announced routes between Atlanta and Düsseldorf, Germany, and Copenhagen, Denmark, both of which begin next spring.

To further build support for the new service, Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue will lead a technology and trade mission to Israel in November sponsored by the American-Israel Chamber of Commerce and the Georgia Department of Economic Development. The mission will generate new business opportunities for Atlanta and the Southeast while helping promote Delta’s new service to Israeli business leaders.

"I am proud that Georgia will become the first southeastern state with nonstop service to Israel," said Governor Sonny Perdue. "This new route will boost commerce and tourism between Georgia and Israel, which have grown exponentially over the last several years." In 2004, Israel ranked 22nd among Georgia export destinations with exports totaling $173 million.

The Israel Department/Division of Tourism worked tirelessly to bring this historic service to Tel Aviv from Atlanta and are eager to welcome U.S. travelers to Israel.

"We are delighted by Delta's decision to begin flying nonstop flights from Atlanta to Israel,” said Israel’s Minister of Tourism Avraham Hirchson. “These flights will provide a much needed addition to the available capacity of seats for visitors from North and South America wishing to fulfill their dream to visit Israel. The demand for travel to Israel continues to increase, and we foresee 2006 as a record year. We welcome Delta to Israel."

Customers will enjoy the comfort of Boeing 777 widebody aircraft on Delta’s new flight between Atlanta and Tel Aviv which includes the carrier’s award-winning BusinessElite™ service. Delta’s in-flight experience will offer customers flying to Israel Kosher meal selections. In addition, these new flights bring multiple opportunities for freight forwarders and cargo shippers.

With its upcoming fall and winter schedule, Delta will add to the more than 40 new international routes already introduced, announced or sought authority to serve since Jan. 1, 2005, including New York (JFK) to Chennai, India (via Paris); New York (JFK) to Berlin, Germany; and Atlanta to Moscow, Russia, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to name just a few. These schedule enhancements strengthen Delta’s position as both a leading carrier to Latin America as well as the No. 1 U.S. airline across the Atlantic.

Additionally, customers flying Delta between Atlanta and Tel Aviv will have access to the world’s most extensive connecting flight schedules thanks to Atlanta’s status as the world’s largest single-airline hub. Each day, Delta operates flights to 49 destinations in 32 countries from Atlanta, including 150 domestic destinations.

Chi è che volava in passato a ATH e IST? Pan Am e TWA?
Adesso rimangono servite solo da DL con gli USA (ATH anche Air Transat sul Canada).
CO è anni che vuole aprire la EWR-ATH così come DL la ATL-ATH/IST (anche legate insieme) , ma Grecia e Turchia non hanno gli open-sky con gli USA e le restrizioni bilaterali non consentono loro di operare questi voli a quanto pare.
Magari la situazione cambierà per questi paesi , però nell'immediato prevedo un'espansione (anzi un ritorno) sull'Europa dell'est dei vettori USA.


Ciao

Prima del 2001 DL volava sulle ATL-ATH e ATL-IST, 3vv e 4vv a settimana.

grazie Yari , sei sempre una banca dati

Ad ATH ricordo anche parecchi 777 da ATL l'anno scorso , voli però schedulati in occasione delle Olimpiadi.
Nel 2001 con che aerei volavano da ATL in Grecia/Turchia? Forse con gli M11?

Sarebbe interessante tornare a volare da quelle parti da ATL (visto che sta diventando sempre di più anche la porta verso l'Europa della compagnia ...). O fare un 3xw / 4xw combinato ATL-IST e ATL-ATH........oppure fare un giornaliero triangolare ATL-ATH-IST-ATL , anche se resterebbe il problema della macchina..... M11 nn ce ne sono più , i 777 sono più che occupati e i 767 non credo ce la facciano.
Eppure DL vorrebbe in qualche modo tornare a collegarle da ATL.

Esatto, usavano gli M11. Le rotte erano state aperte nel 2000, anno in cui DL aveva inaugurato 6 nuovi collegamenti europei (di cui solo due sono sopravvissuti! )

• Atlanta - Atene
• Atlanta - Barcellona (sopravvissuto!)
• Atlanta - Istanbul
• New York - Lione
• New York - Venezia (il secondo sopravvissuto!)
• New York - Zurigo
