BNET -- Continental cuts Mexican flights — Continental Airlines Inc. will temporarily cut U.S. departures to Mexico by 50 percent and use smaller planes as fewer passengers travel to the country. Because of the concern over the swine flu outbreak there, with 300 cases and 12 dead, many travelers are declining to venture over the border. Continental will cut capacity starting Monday, and also extend its waiver policy, allowing customers who booked flights to Mexico to change their itineraries without penalty until the end of the month. The carrier flew about 450 flights a week to 29 destinations in Mexico before it cut capacity.[Source: Associated Press]
