United Airlines announces 2023 summer schedule, totaling 37 cities and new nonstop overseas routes

In anticipation of another crazy summer of travel, United Airlines announced Tueday its 2023 summer transatlantic schedule, which will total 37 cities in Europe, Africa, India and the Middle East – more international destinations than all other US airlines combined. Many of the slated transatlantic destinations will be the only ones offered by a US airline, or the only non-stop routes from the US. Flights to the international destinations will depart from New York/Newark, the carrier's hub in San Francisco, Chicago/O'Hare and Washington/Dulles. "Next summer United is offering the best of both worlds: we're making it easier for our customers to visit the most popular cities in Europe, but we're also expanding our reach to give travelers access to new places they haven't yet experienced," said Patrick Quayle, senior vice president of global network planning and alliances at United. "We expect another busy summer for international travel and are proud to build on our industry-leading global network to offer our customers the widest range of destinations and most convenient travel options." The carrier's slated schedule includes a debut of three new cities: Malaga, Spain; Stockholm, Sweden; and Dubai, UAE. All three new destinations will fly directly from New York/Newark as the airline is poised to suspend flights from New York/JFK in late October. United said it will also be the only North American airline offering flights to Amman, Jordan; Azores, Portugal; Palma de Mallorca and Tenerife, Spain. <br/>
