I don't understand the phrase after "because" in this question.
Continental flies from Cleveland to San Diego. Those flights stop in Denver (I'm presuming), but the plane then continues on to San Diego with no change in flight number. That's a direct flight, but it's not non-stop.
Continental is going to fly those flights (Cleveland to San Diego
via Denver) more often than they do now - maybe, for example, three flights a day instead of only one.
That's what most (if not all) of those fifty new flights are. They're not new destinations and they're not non-stop. But if you want to fly from Cleveland to San Diego on Continental, you now have more options to do so than you did before. It's added capacity.
