HOUSTON --
Continental subsidiary Continental Micronesia plans to begin daily
nonstop service Dec. 20 between Honolulu and Nagoya, Japan, pending
government approval.
Mark Erwin,
president of Continental's Asia Pacific Division, called
Nagoya-Honolulu an "underserved market" and said the new service
will open up "new two-way tourism opportunities" for Hawaii and
Japan.
The new flight will
depart Honolulu at 2:15 p.m. and arrive in Nagoya at 6:45 p.m. the
next day. The return flight will leave Nagoya at 8 p.m. and arrive
in Honolulu the same day at 8 a.m. Continental will use 767
aircraft for the route.
