United Airlines has kicked off its summer schedule with service to new European destinations in Croatia, Italy, Scotland and Spain. The new routes launched April 30.
Plans are to offer up to 210 flights daily during peak travel times between the U.S. and 36 destinations in Europe including Greenland.
United says it continues to see growing interest in destinations that go beyond traditional European travel destinations and that its customers are increasingly seeking coastal, cultural and off-the-beaten-path experiences.
New flights include:
Split, Croatia (SPU) – First-ever nonstop service with three weekly flights to Croatia's Dalmatian Coast.
Bari, Italy (BRI) – The only carrier to serve Southern Italy's gateway to Puglia, with four weekly flights.
Glasgow, Scotland (GLA) – The only nonstop service with daily service connecting travelers to Scotland's cultural capital.
Santiago de Compostela, Spain (SCQ) – First-ever service to Spain's historic pilgrimage destination begins May 27, with three weekly flights from Newark/New York.
Reykjavik, Iceland (KEF) – Daily nonstop service from Washington-Dulles launches May 21, the only service on this route with lie-flat business class seats.
Additionally, on the heels of last summer's expansion, United will resume summer-seasonal service to destinations from the airline's largest summer expansion ever in 2025, including:
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (UBN) – Three weekly flights from Tokyo/Narita.
Faro, Portugal (FAO) – Four weekly flights service from Newark/New York.
Madeira Island, Portugal (FNC) – Three weekly flights from Newark/New York.
Palermo, Italy (PMO) – Three weekly flights from Newark/New York starting May 22
Bilbao, Spain (BIO) – Three weekly flights from Newark/New starting May 30
Nuuk, Greenland (GOH) – Twice weekly flights from Newark/New York starting June 6 (one week earlier than in 2025).
United says that its summer 2025 schedule expansion set a record for the most new destinations the airline has introduced in a single season. These routes delivered a strong performance in their first year and have great momentum as demand continues to increase, says United.
