United Airlines is celebrated a quarter century of service to Puerto Rico by adding more services from its Newark hub.
Starting December 18, 2016, United will add flights between San Juan Luis Munoz Marin Airport and Newark Liberty from one weekly flight to six flights a week.
The route will be operated with widebody Boeing 777 aircraft featuring 344 seats.
"For the last 25 years, United Airlines has been a proud member of the San Juan business community and has played a vital role in connecting Puerto Rico to the world," said Millie Uriarte, United’s regional director of Sales for Puerto Rico.
"Today’s announcement is just the beginning and we look forward to continuing to do business with customers throughout the island."
United also flies to San Juan from Chicago, Houston and Washington-Dulles.
Rival carrier Southwest Airlines recently announced it was entering the fray with seasonal service on the Newark – San Juan route beginning the day before United’s expanded schedule takes effect, on December 17.
