United Airlines pushing deeper into Asia-Pacific with Boeing's 787 Dreamliners
United Continental's United Airlines is adding even more routes in the Asia-Pacific region. Using the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, the airline recently launched a 16-hour nonstop flight from San Francisco to Singapore. The airline is also planning more nonstop service from the US to places like New Zealand, a service that launches July 1, 2016. For the last 2 decades, long-haul routes to Asia were dominated by companies such as SIA and Cathay Pacific. For several years SIA ran nonstop service to both Newark and Los Angeles from its home city. Andy Buchanan, MD of International Planning for United said, "The Pacific has always been a historical cornerstone to the United network and we see our San Francisco hub as a way to launch new point-to-point service into the Asia-Pacific region." <br/>
