United Airlines’ Bold Global Expansion | Greenville News

United Airlines is launching its biggest global expansion in nearly 100 years, adding ten new international destinations including Okinawa, Toulouse, Marseille, and key cities across Spain, Portugal, Slovenia, and Italy — most with no direct U.S. airline service. Flights begin next spring, starting March 27 from San Francisco to Japan and ending June 9 with Portugal’s debut from Newark. The airline’s new A321XLR, dubbed “Born to Explore,” will power five of these routes, debuting internationally in December after domestic service starts in September. Despite soaring jet fuel prices driven by oil trade disruptions, United’s CEO remains upbeat, citing Newark’s strength as an Atlantic hub and a focus on enhancing customer experience — while also reviving Tel Aviv service and boosting flights on existing international routes.
