United adds eight routes from four hubs next spring

United will add new service to eight cities from its Chicago O'Hare, Denver, Los Angeles and Newark hubs next spring, including new flights to Elmira in New York. The carrier will add new service to El Paso and Fresno from Chicago O'Hare; Jacksonville from Denver; Kalispell, Medford, Missoula and Redmond from Los Angeles; and Elmira from Newark in April and June 2018, FlightGlobal schedules show. Elmira is the only new destination among the routes for United. The airline previously served the Central New York city from Chicago O'Hare from 2014 to 2016. The carrier may see an opportunity in American Airlines exit from Elmira in February 2017 after nearly 45 years. Delta is the only mainline carrier serving the city. United will fly a mix of Bombardier CRJ200, Embraer ERJ-145, Embraer 170 and Embraer 175 aircraft on the new routes, schedules show. The Fresno, Kalispell and Missoula services will operate seasonally. <br/>
