United Airlines adds 8 new international destinations to its itinerary for next summer

United Airlines is adding eight new international destinations to its itinerary for next summer.

The airline, which said this is its largest ever international expansion with more than 760 weekly flights, will also add several new routes.

Starting in May, travelers departing from Newark, New Jersey can visit locations including Bilbao, Spain; Faro, Portugal and Palermo, Italy. In June, the airline will begin offering flights from Newark to Madeira Island, Portugal and Nuuk, Greenland.

Other flights include Tokyo to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and Washington, DC to Dakar starting in May and Tokyo to Kaohsiung, Taiwan starting in July.

New routes to existing destinations include Washington DC to Nice, France; Washington DC to Venice, Italy and Tokyo to Narita-Koror, Palau. The airline will also resume flights to several destinations earlier this season, including Newark to Athens, Greece in March and Newark to Dubrovnik, Croatia in May.

United said all new flights are subject to government approval and will be available for purchase on its website and app.

Last month, United announced it had struck a deal with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to offer satellite-based Starlink WiFi services on flights in the coming years.

The airline said the service will be free for passengers and will allow them to connect multiple devices. United said it will begin testing the service early next year and offer it on some flights later in 2025.
