The expansion introduces direct services from San Francisco to Okinawa, Japan, and from Washington Dulles to Toulouse, France. However, Newark Liberty International Airport will drive the bulk of the growth, gaining new non-stop flights to Luxembourg, Marseille, Ibiza, Valencia, Terceira, Ljubljana, Olbia, and Catania. United highlighted that eight of these ten new cities are currently not served non-stop by any other U.S. airline, providing exclusive point-to-point transatlantic and transpacific connectivity.

The announcement coincided with the unveiling of United’s new long-range single-aisle aircraft, the Airbus A321XLR (named “Born to Explore”). The carrier plans to deploy the A321XLR on select long-haul routes to optimize operational efficiency on secondary international markets. Tickets for the new services will be released progressively across United’s booking channels.
