United Airlines has kicked off its largest ever transatlantic expansion.
In total, United will launch or resume 30 transatlantic flights from mid-April through early June.
This includes adding new nonstop flights to five leisure destinations not served by other North American airlines
These include Amman, Jordan; Bergen; Azores, Portugal; Palma de Mallorca, and Tenerife.
The airline is also launching five new nonstop flights to London, Milan, Zurich, Munich and Nice.
United is also resuming fourteen Atlantic routes the airline has historically served and adding frequencies in six others.
The transatlantic route network will be more than 25% larger than in 2019.
“We have long anticipated a strong demand recovery, and we’re proud to offer our customers more options and access than ever before,” said Patrick Quayle, senior vice president of international network and alliances at United.
United is also launching new service between Boston and London Heathrow, Denver and Munich and between Chicago and Milan.
In addition, United is also growing its presence in Africa.
On May 8, United will increase its service to offer daily flights between Washington/Dulles and Accra, Ghana.
The airline will also extend its existing seasonal service to Cape Town to year-round, with nonstop flights from New York/Newark resuming June 5.
