Continental starts Newark/Barcelona flights
Continental Airlines Wednesday started a daily non-stop service between Liberty International Airport in Newark and Barcelona, Spain, the only year-round, nonstop flight between the United States and the capital of Spain’s Catalan region.
The Newark/Barcelona service uses Boeing 757-200 aircraft departing Newark at 7:15 p.m., arriving in Barcelona at 9:15 a.m. the following day. The return flight departs Barcelona at 11:10 a.m., arriving at Newark at 1:55 p.m.
During the winter months, Continental will operate five flights per week on the route, reverting to daily service in Spring 2007.
