United Airlines Adds 8 New Destinations in Worldwide Expansion

United Airlines has added eight new destinations to its 2025 flight itinerary in a worldwide expansion.

In a company press release, United revealed its largest international expansion in its company history with service to eight new cities. These destinations include Nuuk, Greenland; Palermo, Italy; Bilbao, Spain; Madeira Island, Portugal; and Faro, Portugal. The airline is also adding three new nonstop routes from Washington D.C./Dulles, a new year-round flight to Dakar, Senegal, and nonstop flights to both Nice, France, and Venice, Italy.

These nonstop flights, taking off from Newark/New York, will make United the first airline to fly to destinations no other U.S. fleet serves. The release states, “The airline will also increase the number of weekly direct flights between Newark/New York-Palma de Mallorca, Spain, Newark/New York-Dubrovnik, Croatia, and Newark/New York-Athens, Greece.”

“United is also adding new direct flights from Tokyo-Narita to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and Kaohsiung — destinations no other U.S. airline serves — and a new nonstop flight to Koror, Palau. These new flights will seamlessly connect in Tokyo to United’s transpacific services to five hub locations in the continental United States,” it concludes.

In a statement within the release, Patrick Quayle, senior vice president of global network planning and alliances, said, “No other airline gives customers nonstop access to as many unique international destinations and experiences from the U.S. as United. Our network provides the most choice and variety for our customers, whether they are looking for a relaxing seaside getaway, once-in-a-lifetime adventure travel or to explore some of the most vibrant urban escapes across the globe.”
