United Airlines on May 23 will add seasonal daily nonstop service between Washington Dulles and Anchorage, as well as between Denver and Fairbanks, the carrier announced Thursday. The carrier claims this will be the industry’s only nonstop service between Washington, D.C., and Anchorage.
United in May also is resuming six routes for the summer season, including between Chicago O’Hare and each Winnipeg and Quebec City in Canada; between Denver and Winnipeg; between Newark, N.J., and Halifax; between Washington Dulles and Vancouver, B.C.; and between Houston and Ontario, Calif., according to the carrier.
The airline’s Canadian expansion, which also includes added service on several routes, has been “enabled by the airline’s strong relationship with Air Canada,” one of United’s joint venture partners. For the summer season, United will offer more than 150 daily flights between the U.S. and Canada, serving nine Canadian destinations from its seven U.S. hub airports, according to the carrier.
United also is expanding service in each of its seven hubs for the summer 2024 season, including more than 40 new North American flights added for each Denver and Houston, 20 each for Chicago O’Hare and Washington, D.C., and 10 for Los Angeles.
