PLANTATION, FL, January 2005 - Continental Airlines regional affiliate Gulfstream International Airlines recently announced it will offer expanded Continental Connection service linking Andros Town, The Bahamas with South Florida beginning February 18th, 2005.
As part of the increased service, Continental Connection will inaugurate flights between Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and Andros Town on the Bahamian island of Andros, with four roundtrip flights each week.
Flights will depart Ft. Lauderdale at 1:30 PM every Friday, Sunday, Monday and Wednesday, and will arrive in Andros Town at 2:35 PM. Return flights will depart Andros Town at 3:00 PM and arrive in Ft. Lauderdale at 4:05 PM.
Flights will be operated by a 19-seat Beech 1900 aircraft.
The airline will also offer daily service linking Ft.

Lauderdale with Marsh Harbour and Treasure Cay, Abaco, and North Eleuthera, Bahamas.
With the addition of service to Andros Town, Continental Connection will offer flights to nine destinations in The Bahamas from Florida, more than any other carrier in the United States.
