Continental Airlines Pulls the Cord on Mexico Capacity
This morning Continental Airlines announced that it was cutting capacity on its flights to Mexico by 50%.
As we noted here last week, 5.3% of Continental's total passenger revenue is derived from Mexico flights. The airline has more flights scheduled to Mexico than any other airline, with an average of 450 flights per week.
The new schedule begins Monday.
The airline said that service to all of its 29 Mexican destinations will continue. However, the frequency of flights has been cut, and on some routes regional aircraft will replace larger aircraft.
