United’s revitalised network
A revitalised route network with more destinations, more flights and more convenient connections for passengers in both domestic and international markets was announced last week by United Airlines.
Subject to government approval, the carrier will add a seasonal route between San Francisco and Munich for the first time, using the B787 Dreamliner, and one of the daily flights between Newark and Tel Aviv will be upgraded to the new Boeing 777-300ER.
The airline is also growing its domestic network, adding more connections and additional service to 30 destinations across the US, with president Scott Kirby promising bigger and more modern aircraft for many of the services.
The Newark – Tel Aviv service, beginning on 5 May, will feature the all new United Polaris seats and will be the second route, after San Francisco – Hong Kong, to operate with the B777-300ER.
United is also growing its domestic network by improving connectivity through its hubs, offering better products and scheduling optimal flight times, with new routes to bring non-stop service to more cities.
The carrier is adding service to 13 cities and in total is adding 47 new daily roundtrips to its domestic schedule. The flights will be on a variety of mainline and regional jets adding nearly 8,700 additional seats a day and some 90,000 new flight miles.
