United Airlines to Start New Nonstop Seasonal Service from Berlin to Washington D.C. in May 2023

United Airlines today announced that its new daily nonstop seasonal service between Berlin Brandenburg Airport and its hub at Washington/Dulles will begin on 26 May 2023. United will be the only airline to offer nonstop flights between the two capital cities and offers more flights from Berlin to the U.S. than any other airline.

The new seasonal service builds on United’s existing daily year-round flights from Berlin to the airline’s New York/Newark hub and from Frankfurt and Munich to its hubs at New York/Newark, Chicago, Washington, Houston, Denver and San Francisco. United offers more nonstop services between Germany and the United States than any other U.S. airline and expects to operate 18 daily flights from Germany in Summer 2023.

“We are excited to announce this further expansion of our route network from Germany to the U.S. with the introduction of our new capital-to-capital service from Berlin to Washington D.C.,” said Thorsten Lettnin, Director Sales Continental Europe, India and West Africa. “We expect another busy summer for international travel in 2023 and are proud to build on our industry-leading global network to offer our customers in Germany even greater travel choice and the possibility to connect via our U.S. hubs to other destinations across the Americas.”

The new route from Berlin demonstrates United’s transatlantic leadership among U.S. airlines. Announced today, the airline’s 2023 summer schedule includes adding flights to three cities – Malaga, Spain; Stockholm, Sweden and Dubai, UAE – as well as six more flights to some of the most popular destinations in Europe: Rome, Paris, Barcelona, London, Berlin and Shannon. In total, United will fly to 37 cities in Europe, Africa and the Middle East next summer, more destinations than all other U.S. airlines combined. The new routes are subject to government approval.

United saw historic levels of demand for travel to Europe in the summer peak, up 20 per cent compared to 2019, and is focused on developing its network to serve continued demand strength.

Along with adding new flights, United will fly nine routes it added last summer, including direct flights between New York/Newark and Nice; Denver and Munich; Boston and London Heathrow; Chicago/O’Hare and Zurich; and Chicago/O’Hare and Milan, as well as flights to four destinations not served by any other North American airline - Amman, Jordan; Azores, Portugal; Palma de Mallorca, Spain and Tenerife, Spain.
