United will fly non-stop to 114 international cities this summer
United Airlines announced Thursday that it will fly to 114 international cities this summer and has expanded its flights by 25% over last year to meet the sharp increase in demand for travel outside the U.S. The airline’s schedule this summer includes nearly 25 new routes.
Newark – Dubai
On March 25, United launched daily service between New Jersey/Newark and Dubai, operated on Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The flight is part of a landmark commercial agreement between the airline and Emirates that will enhance each airline’s network and provide customers with easier access to hundreds of destinations within the United States and around the world.

In addition to adding new flights, United will fly nine transatlantic routes it added last summer, including direct flights between Newark and Nice; Denver and Munich; Boston and London Heathrow; Chicago/O’Hare and Zurich; and Chicago/O’Hare and Milan, as well as flights to four destinations no other North American carrier flies to, including Amman (Jordan); Azores (Portugal); Palma de Mallorca (Spain); and Tenerife (Spain). United has also added a second seasonal frequency from Newark to Edinburgh (Scotland) from May 25 to October 27 and from Newark to Naples (Italy) from June 23 to September 7.
Expansion in Asia-Pacific
This summer, the airline will also be the largest carrier in the Pacific, with 27 unique destinations. Excluding mainland China and Hong Kong, United’s capacity across the Pacific will exceed 2019 levels by more than 15% this summer. The carrier recently resumed service between Denver-Tokyo/Narita and San Francisco-Hong Kong, and added new service to Tokyo/Haneda from Washington Dulles and Los Angeles.
The airline will also expand its schedule between Australia and the United States this summer, including nonstop routes to Australia’s three largest cities – Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. In addition, the airline’s recent codeshare partnership with Virgin Australia also allows travelers to easily make connections to more than 20 additional cities within Australia.
“United will offer travelers more options than ever this summer, especially if they want to fly overseas,” said Patrick Quayle, senior vice president of global network planning and alliances.
