United Airlines alters summer 2024 route network

United Airlines, now proudly the largest carrier across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, is already shifting its summer 2024 schedules. Based on this year's demand, the airline has decided to resume a few routes early and push the resumption of another. Though United is gearing up for its largest transpacific expansion, which begins this winter, it is already looking forward to summer 2024. According to Cirium, United will resume two European routes earlier than originally planned next summer. Service from Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) to Athens International Airport (ATH) was set to resume on May 3 but will now resume on March 30. The flight will operate as UA124 on the Boeing 787-10, the largest variant of the Dreamliner family. Departures are scheduled for 17:40 and an arrival time of 10:10 local time on the following day. United will also resume its Washington - Madrid route next April, using the 767-400 to fly to Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport. The route was due to resume on May 4 but will instead return on April 14. Another early resumption is from Newark Liberty International Airport to Dublin International Airport. United serves Dublin year-round from Newark, once daily in winter and twice-daily in summer. According to Cirium, United was due to resume its second daily flight on April 27 but the airline has now changed its plans. Data shows that from March 30, flights will be doubled.<br/>
