United will also launch seven routes that were interrupted due to the pandemic to Bangalore, Frankfurt, Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, Nice and Zurich.

New Destinations

United will begin new capital to capital service between Washington, D.C. and Amman, Jordan starting May 5. The airline will be the only North American carrier flying direct to Amman with service three times weekly with a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.

United will add a third Portuguese destination to its global network with brand new flights between New York/Newark and Ponta Delgada in the Azores beginning May 13.
