Continental Micronesia has announced additional summer service between
Cairns and Guam. The third weekly flight is added to Continental's regularly
scheduled service between Cairns and Guam, which operates on Friday and Monday.
Starting June 1st, Continental will add a Thursday flight, increasing service
to three times per week. CO903 departs Cairns at 12:10 a.m. and returns to
Guam at 4:45 a.m. CO902 will depart Guam at 6:30 p.m. and arrive in Cairns
at 11:10 p.m. A next-generation Boeing 737-800 will service the four hour
and 40 minute non-stop flight.
"Traditionally, this route has been supported primarily by our customers in
Japan. However, Continental has worked diligently to promote North Queensland in Guam and also to promote Guam in North Queensland. As a
result, passenger volume grew significantly during the year to justify an
additional flight," said Continental Micronesia President and Chief Executive
Officer Mark Erwin.
Continental Micronesia Cairns Airport Manager Cindy Bakewell said the
added flight is perfect for Cairns travelers longing for a new holiday experience. "The additional flight gives our customers flexibility when
planning their travel to Guam and beyond. Further, the arrival time at Continental's hub in Guam allows for a quick connection to Honolulu and
onward to Los Angeles and other points in the U.S. mainland." |
