United Airlines will resume daily nonstop services between Scotland and the US in 2022.

Starting 5 March 2022, the airline will resume its year-round daily nonstop service between Edinburgh and Newark.

United is also set to resume daily nonstop seasonal services from Edinburgh to Chicago O’Hare and Washington D.C. on 7 May 2022.

"With the return of services, our customers in Edinburgh can once again take advantage of direct connections to the U.S., as well as an unrivalled route network from United’s hubs at New York/Newark, Chicago and Washington, D.C," said Bob Schumacher, United’s Director Sales UK and Ireland.

"It’s incredibly exciting to be resuming our transatlantic services with United to allow direct travel between Scotland and the US for the first time in two years," said Gordon Dewar, Edinburgh Airport’s Chief Executive.

United’s year-round daily nonstop service from Edinburgh to New York/Newark and seasonal daily nonstop services from Edinburgh to Chicago O’Hare and Washington D.C. will be operated with Boeing 757-200 aircraft, featuring a total of 169 seats with 16 flat-bed seats in United Polaris business class and 153 in economy.
