United links San Francisco and Dublin from June 2020

United Airlines will add a daily San Francisco-Dublin flight beginning next summer and thereby become the first airline to directly link the two tech centres on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The flights, to be operated on a Boeing 787-800 Dreamliner, will be United’s fourth direct connection between North America and the Irish capital. The carrier already operates flights to Dublin from Chicago, Washington Dulles and Newark International airports. United also offers seasonal service to Shannon from Newark. “Dublin and the Silicon Valley are two regions synonymous with big tech,” Patrick Quayle, United’s VP of international network, said. “Many global tech companies have a major footprint in both regions, and they need a carrier with an extensive worldwide network to help conveniently connect their business.” <br/>
