Seasonal Continental Service from Three New Cities to Cancun
In addition,Continental Airlines today filed an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for authority to begin once-weekly nonstop service to Cancun, Mexico, from three new cities: Austin and San Antonio, Texas, and Raleigh-Durham, N.C. These Saturday services, which are subject to government approval, would begin Feb. 19, 2011. In addition, United Airlines applied for authority to place its UA* code on Continental-operated flights between these cities, further enhancing service options for customers traveling to Cancun.
Continental plans to operate the service with Boeing 737-700 aircraft, with seating for 124 customers (12 in first class and 112 in economy). Continental serves 30 destinations in Mexico, more than any other airline from the U.S.Continental currently serves Cancun 76 times weekly from its hubs in Houston, Newark and Cleveland. United currently serves Cancun 31 times weekly from Denver, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Washington-Dulles.
First, we must be on to something good.
Second, we need to be so good at what we do that we can be like one of those football teams that can walk up and tell you they're going to run it up the middle, then run it up the middle and still get a first down. Eventually those teams win.
BUT, this is a leisure market is it not? Flooding the market with seats won't be great for us but it looks like we struck a nerve- or UCAL doesn't have much in their playbook.
