Continental Expects New Q400s to Reduce Newark Flight Delays

Continental Airlines expects the 15 new, fast, 74-seat Bombardier Q400 turboprops operating on its Continental Connection network from Newark to help reduce delays to its flights from the airport. In addition, the Q400 is some 30 percent more fuel-efficient than comparably sized jets on flights of 300 miles or more, according to the airline. Credit: Bombardier Aerospace
