United outlines half a billion-dollar Washington Dulles expansion
United Airlines unveiled a half a billion-dollar development set to transform the customer experience over the coming years at Washington Dulles.
The 435,000-square-foot, 14-gate Concourse E will include a new United Club location and new customer amenities which are expected to debut in late 2026.
The new Concourse E is made possible in part due to collaboration between United and the airport authority, with local and federal funding such as grants from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
United says it is the D.C. region’s largest airline, with more than 8,000 local employees and more flights and destinations than any other carrier.
United will open a new flight attendant training center in 2025, and the airline is expanding its network with new destinations.
“Washington Dulles has emerged as a global gateway and these new investments will help deliver the world-class facility that our employees and customers deserve,” said United CEO Scott Kirby.
The Dulles airport expansion and modernization follows similar investments at airport facilities in Denver, Houston, and Newark, and is part of the airline’s United Next plan to invest in infrastructure and technology.
Construction is underway on the new Concourse E, which will exclusively house 14 dedicated United gates providing additional space to accommodate United Next’s new widebody and mainline planes.
The concourse will also be home to a new 40,000-square-foot United Club.
This will be one of the largest United Club locations in the network.
The 14-gate concourse is one phase of a long-term, multi-phase project for United’s growth at Dulles
“Washington Dulles International is a key economic engine for the National Capital Region, and United Airlines is our essential partner,” said Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority President and CEO Jack Potter.
This year, United launched 13 new domestic routes from Dulles including to Anchorage, Alaska and Mobile, Alabama, as well as upcoming service to Palm Springs, California that begins December 19.
