United Airlines will resume daily non-stop services between Scotland and the United States from 5 March 2022, connecting Edinburgh and New York/Newark year-round.
The airline is also set to resume daily non-stop seasonal services from Edinburgh to Chicago O’Hare and Washington D.C. on 7 May 2022.
United will be the first airline to resume such services and plans to offer more services between Scotland and the US than any other airline.
Bob Schumacher, United’s director of sales for the UK and Ireland, commented: “With the return of services, our customers in Edinburgh can once again take advantage of direct connections to the US, as well as an unrivalled route network from United’s hubs at New York, Chicago and Washington, offering convenient nonstop connections to 129 destinations across the Americas.”
Edinburgh Airport’s chief executive Gordon Dewar added: “It’s incredibly exciting to be resuming our transatlantic services with United to allow direct travel between Scotland and the US for the first time in two years.”
The services will be operated with Boeing 757-200 aircraft, featuring a total of 169 seats – 16 flat-bed seats in business class and 153 in economy, including 45 Economy Plus seats with added legroom.
United began serving Scotland in 1998.
