United Airlines announces increased non-stop flights between Australia and US
The expansion of the largest US-to-US South Pacific air network in history has been announced, with Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne among the big winners, giving Australians more options when flying direct to the US.
In late 2023, United Airlines will add non-stop flights between various locations in California and the east coast of Australia.
United Airlines has more than tripled its direct flights to Brisbane as part of its expansion.
New Zealand will also benefit from more direct flights to and from the US later this year.
This means a 40% increase in airline flights between the US and Australia-New Zealand.
“This winter, United strengthened its network to become the largest airline in the South Pacific region,” said Patrick Quayle, senior vice president of global network planning and alliances.
“Now, this winter, we will expand further.”
He said United Airlines’ “strong partnerships” with Air New Zealand and Virgin Australia offer “unparalleled connectivity”.
Tickets are sold for passengers to book in advance.
