Continental to add 4 flights from Ithaca to Newark
Wed Jul 2, 4:59 PM ET
Continental is returning to the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport in October and will fly four nonstop routes daily to Newark's Liberty Airport. Continental used to serve Ithaca but left town in 1996.
Ithaca Air Service Board President Larry Baum says the decision to bring service back to the city is the result of a recent move by the airline to increase international travel. Baum says Ithaca beat out Elmira and Binghamton for the service.
Baum says the large student population at Cornell University boosts the number of international travelers using the airport.
