United Airlines reveals largest ever transatlantic expansion
United Airlines has unveiled the largest ever transatlantic expansion in its history, including 10 new flights and five new destinations.
It is ramping up connectivity to Europe and beyond with new destinations Amman, Jordan; Bergen, Norway; Azores, Palma de Mallorca and Tenerife.
All of the new routes – which are set to begin in spring 2022 – are not served by any other North American carrier.
Additionally, next year, United will add new flights to five popular European destinations: Berlin, Dublin, Milan, Munich and Rome.
United will relaunch seven routes that were interrupted due to the pandemic to Bangalore, Frankfurt, Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, Nice and Zurich.
"Given our big expectations for a rebound in travel to Europe for summer, this is the right time to leverage our leading global network in new, exciting ways," said Patrick Quayle, SVP of international network and alliances at United.
"Our expansion offers the widest range of destinations to discover – introducing new locales that our customers will love, as well as adding more flights to popular cities."
United is also adding flights to some of Europe’s most popular cities in anticipation of a resurgence in visitors.
Next spring United will add new daily flights between Denver and Munich – joining existing service from Denver to Frankfurt and London which is expected to resume in March.
United is the only US airline to offer transatlantic service from Denver.
There will be new daily flights between Chicago and Milan, adding to its existing service between Newark and Milan.
There will be a new daily capital to capital service between Washington, D.C. and Berlin and additional daily flights from Newark to Dublin and Rome.
