New Partnership
Codesharing to begin between Continental and Brussels airlines
HOUSTON and BRUSSELS - Effective August 9, 2010, Continental will place its "CO" code on selected Brussels Airlines-operated flights between Brussels and nine cities in Europe (Bologna, Italy; Bristol, London/Heathrow and Newcastle, United Kingdom; Hanover, Germany; and Lyons, Marseilles, Paris/Charles de Gaulle and Toulouse, France); and between Brussels and 12 cities in Africa (Accra, Ghana; Banjul, Gambia; Bujumbura, Burundi; Cotonou, Benin; Dakar, Senegal; Douala and Yaounde, Cameroon; Entebbe, Uganda; Kigali, Rwanda; Monrovia, Liberia; Nairobi, Kenya; and Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso).
At the same time, Brussels Airlines will place its "SN" code on Continental's daily flights between Brussels and its New York hub, Newark Liberty International Airport, as well as on selected flights to five US destinations operated by Continental beyond New York/Newark (Cleveland, Dallas/Fort Worth, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, and Orlando).
"This agreement will offer Continental customers quicker and easier access to a dozen cities in Africa, as well as additional cities in Europe," said Jim Compton, Continental's executive vice president and chief marketing officer. "We know that our customers will appreciate the increased travel options this partnership provides, as well as the high standards of service offered by Brussels Airlines."
"Thanks to this new partnership with Continental Airlines we can now offer our passengers a great travel solution to New York via the very convenient Newark airport and to several other important US destinations currently lacking in our network offer," said Brussels Airlines' executive vice president of network and strategy, Erik Follet. "This is another example of the many new advantages our recent Star Alliance membership offers our clients."
