United Airlines recently announced it is expanding its domestic route network by adding 22 destinations from six of its U.S. mainland hubs in 2019.
United’s hubs are located in Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Newark/New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
Nonstop service will be offered from Chicago, New York/Newark and Washington, D.C to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina; from San Francisco to Columbus, Ohio; from Los Angeles to Eugene, Oregon; Madison, Wisconsin, and Pasco/Tri-Cities, Washington; from Denver to Charleston, South Carolina, Eureka, California, and Fairbanks, Alaska; and from Washington Dulles to Asheville, North Carolina.
“With more than 40 new domestic routes added this year, we remain committed to expanding our network to offer customers even more choices in their travel destinations,” Ankit Gupta, United’s vice president of Domestic Network Planning, said. “The expansion to Hilton Head Island from three of our hub cities and the introduction of New York’s only nonstop service to Anchorage and Pensacola, are just some of the ways we are responding to customer interest and demand.”
United’s enhanced East Coast schedule goes into effect this month. The other routes will begin in the spring.
United Airlines and United Express carried more than 148 million customers and operated more than 1.6 million flights in 2017.
