United Continental Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: UAL) today inaugurates the first daily scheduled passenger service between Texas and Africa with new nonstop flights between Houston and Lagos, Nigeria. The service, operated by Continental Airlines, links the two energy capitals on a route which no other airline currently serves.
“The new flights offer convenient nonstop access to Lagos for travelers from Houston’s vibrant energy sector and large Nigerian community, reducing roundtrip travel time between the two cities by more than six hours,” said Jim Compton, United’s executive vice president and chief revenue officer. “In addition, our Houston hub provides fast and easy connections from destinations across the U.S., and throughout Canada and Latin America.”
