United Airlines to double its Newark-Rome flights from March 2024

United Airlines continues to expand its flight offering, with the best network of any American carrier across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. In March, the carrier will increase its flights from Newark to Rome to twice daily. Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, United has rapidly expanded its network, like its recent route launch from San Francisco to Christchurch, New Zealand, and new aircraft orders. Currently, the airline has more than 700 aircraft on order and is adding several Boeing 737 MAX aircraft to its fleet every week. The growth of its fleet, paired with demand in several markets, has enabled United to expand rapidly. In April, United will begin flying twice daily from Newark Liberty International Airport to Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport in Rome, one month earlier than initially planned and two months earlier than in 2023. United serves Newark-Rome year-round, but in peak summer months, the carrier connects the two twice daily. As of last week, operations were set to double from May 2, 2024, but that will now happen from March 30.<br/>
