Continental Airlines Plans to Operate Up to 50 Percent of Friday's Flights
HOUSTON, Sept. 13, 2001 -- Continental Airlines (NYSE: CAL) is prepared to operate up to 50 percent of its regularly scheduled flights on Friday, Sept. 14. The approximately 1,000 flights planned by Continental and Continental Express include service to most cities, typically with reduced frequency.
As of Thursday evening, Continental has been told that it will not be allowed to operate many of its international flights into the United States until cleared by the U.S. government.
To check for flights that are planned to operate, please visit continental.com or contact Continental Airlines reservations at 1-800-525-0280.
Planned flight operations are subject to change at any time. As the Federal Aviation Administration restores system capacity, it may not be able to offer clearances for all flights that Continental is prepared to operate.
In light of heightened security measures at U.S. airports, passengers are advised to check in at a Continental Airlines ticket counter with valid photo identification at least two hours before departure time. Off-airport and curbside check-in will not be permitted. Only ticketed passengers or those holding boarding passes or electronic ticket receipts will be allowed beyond security checkpoints.
