In questo articolo, che riporterò solo in parte perché abbastanza lungo, si parla di Continental Airlines che ha allo studio nuove rotte intercontinentali da IAH (Houston) a partire dal 2009 quando saranno disponibili nuovi apparecchi B787. Tra le varie rotte al vaglio vengono citate 4 possibili destinazioni (Madrid, Dubai, Roma e Milano). Viene però detto che alla fine si deciderà solo su una destinazione per l'Italia. In passato si era rumoreggiato riguardo uno IAH-FCO, ma le cose potrebbero essere cambiate. Vedremo come si muoverà la compagnia statunitense.
Ecco una parte dell'articolo:
"Dubai, Rome, Milan and Madrid are among the cities Continental Airlines is considering for Houston service once it begins getting next-generation planes in 2009.
Continental Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Larry Kellner cited those as possible nonstop destinations from Houston when it gets Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
"Those would be leading the list," said Kellner, who noted that only one of the two Italian destinations would be served nonstop from Houston, not both."
[...]
The new Boeing is in production. While a delay has been announced, the first aircraft still are expected to come off the assembly line in late 2008.
Continental has an order for 25 Dreamliners to be delivered between 2009 and 2013 and has options with Boeing for more, Kellner noted.
"The 787 is going to allow us to do things from Houston," he said. "The future is bright for Houston for international travel."
