Continental Airlines recently launched a new transatlantic service from Cleveland, Ohio to Paris, France. The flights have been taking place since May 22nd.

The new transatlantic route will be flying from Cleveland Hopkins Airport and Paris's Charles de Gaulle airport. This is the second transatlantic flight to be launched from Cleveland Airport. Continental has been flying to London Gatwick from Cleveland since 1999.

Continental expects the new service to be popular with business class transatlantic travelers who may use the flight to connect to other flights on the European continent. The service will only be running through the summer until September. If it's a success, the airline will most likely continue the service.

Expect many more airlines to launch new transatlantic routes as the US-EU open skies agreement comes into full force.
