Continental Airlines on Thursday will begin the first-ever nonstop service between Cleveland and Paris.
The seasonal service will operate from May 22 through Sept. 1. Flights will depart Cleveland daily at 5:25 p.m. and arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport at 7:25 a.m. the next morning. The daily return flight will depart Paris at 11:20 a.m. and arrive in Cleveland at 2:30 p.m. the same day.
The service will be operated by Boeing 757 aircraft, seating 16 passengers in business and 159 in economy.
Paris will be the second European city served by Continental from Cleveland. Continental's London Gatwick-Cleveland service was introduced in 1999.
