United to fly from Seattle’s Paine Field
United Airlines is returning to Paine Field next year with six daily flights to its hubs in Denver and San Francisco.
Starting in fall 2018, the services will mark nearly 80 years since United became the first airline to operate a commercial flight from the Seattle airport.
"Bringing new service to Paine Field offers customers more ways to conveniently connect to the country’s largest business and leisure destinations," said Dave Hilfman, United’s senior vice president of worldwide sales.
"We know our customers value time and convenience when traveling, and North Seattle and Northwest Washington area travelers will now have easy access to our hubs in Denver and San Francisco and to opportunities to connect to business centers around the world with just one stop."
Located just 23 miles north of Seattle, Paine Field is the newest option for the fast growing number of business and leisure travelers from the Northern Seattle, Snohomish and Northern King County areas.
