Continental Air in code-share pact with Amtrak Thursday January 17, 10:51 AM EST NEWARK, N.J., Jan 17 (Reuters) - Continental Airlines (CAL) on Thursday said it had signed a code-sharing deal with Amtrak that allows the rail operator and the airline to share passengers and revenue at its Newark International Airport hub. Continental, the No. 5 U.S. airline, said Amtrak will provide connections for its passengers from the airport to the rail operator's Northeast rail service. The code share is scheduled to launch in mid-March and will allow travelers to make one reservation for both air and rail services. Under the deal, Continental will place its code on Amtrak's Acela Regional and Keystone trains for service to Philadelphia, Wilmington, Delaware; Stanford, Connecticut; and New Haven, Connecticut. Newark airport opened a rail terminal last year that also transports passengers to terminals on a monorail system.
