The new Heathrow service will operate through 26 September 2009 (eastbound).

The service will be operated by Boeing 757 aircraft, seating 16 passengers in BusinessFirst and 159 passengers in economy.

Continental will continue to operate two daily flights to Heathrow from its Houston hub at Bush Intercontinental Airport in addition to three daily flights to Heathrow from its New York hub at Newark Liberty International Airport.
