Continental Flight Grounded Over Security Concerns Sun February 1, 2004 08:02 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Continental Airlines canceled a flight on Sunday from Washington to Houston, site of the Super Bowl, because of security concerns although the government said there was no sign of a threat to the football championship. A Homeland Security spokeswoman said the airline canceled the flight after the department recommended security measures in light of an unspecified threat. She said there was no intelligence suggesting a threat to the NFL Super Bowl. "The threat to this flight was similar to the type of information we had about the British Airways and Air France flights," the spokeswoman said, without elaborating. Continental, British Airways and Air France on Saturday canceled several transatlantic flights scheduled for Sunday and Monday, citing security concerns amid reports suggesting that al Qaeda may be planning a biological or chemical attack on an aircraft. Continental Flight 1519 had been scheduled to depart from Dulles International Airport in suburban Washington at 5:44 p.m. bound for Houston, site of the NFL Super Bowl game. "Flight 1519 was canceled because we were unable to obtain security clearance for the flight from the Department of Homeland Security," Continental spokesman David Messing said. Among the flights canceled over the weekend were Continental's Sunday flight from Glasgow to Newark and an Air France flight from Paris to Washington Sunday and Monday. Sunday's British Airways Flight 207 flight from London to Miami was also canceled, as well as a London-Washington flight grounded several times in January. © Reuters 2004.
