Continental Airlines stop Cairo service plan (Reuters)
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Continental Airlines, fresh bought by United Airlines to modify United Continental Holdings Inc, has scrapped plans to start new service to Cairo, because of declining movement obligation to Egypt, which is grappling with semipolitical unrest.
Continental said it has "indefinitely postponed" the planned service from Newark, New Jersey, to Cairo, which was to hit begun on May 18.
Egypt is in the throes of semipolitical upthrow that saw massive public protests this year and the expulsion of Hosni Mubarak as chair in February.
"We're reacting to the fall in demand," a United Continental spokesman said Monday.
