Continental Launches Nonstop Houston-Chiapas Service

Continental Airlines has begun twice-weekly flights between its Houston hub at Bush Intercontinental Airport and Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas, Mexico, the airline’s 30th Mexican destination. Continental serves more destinations in Mexico from the U.S. than any other airline.

Chiapas, located in the southeast region of Mexico, is known for its Spanish and Mayan influence, crafts, cuisine, natural wonders, protected ecological reserves, indigenous communities and Mayan archeological zones, including Bonampak and Palenque, both considered UNESCO World Heritage sites. Latin America and the Caribbean account for more than half of Continental Airlines’ international destinations.
