Delta Airlines to Launch Seasonal Scheduled Flights from New York/JFK to Lagos Starting December 1
United Airlines Applies to Launch Washington/Reagan to San Francisco Service
United Airlines has applied to the United States Department of Transportation to launch a service between Washington/Reagan and San Francisco.
Following the approval of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act in May, this application comes as a response to the addition of five takeoff and landing slots at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
The service will operate one round trip per day using a Boeing 737-8 aircraft, with 16 seats in first class and 150 seats in economy, totaling 166 seats. The schedule will have departures from Washington in the morning and from San Francisco in the afternoon, avoiding peak hours in Washington. This service facilitates connections to 24 domestic cities and 7 international cities from San Francisco.
Additionally, as an alternative proposal for the same route addition, United has applied to operate between Washington/Reagan and Los Angeles. This is intended to promote competition with other carriers currently operating the route and promises the earliest arrival schedule to Los Angeles.
