United Airlines will increase frequency between Newark (EWR) and San Juan (SJU); it’s also launching flights to Havana.
The carrier will ramp up service between Newark and San Juan to six flights weekly on Boeing 777s, effective Dec. 18. The flights will run year-round and operate every day except Tuesday. United currently operates only one 767 flight between the two cities.
“There was a need to increase the number of flights and the size of the aircraft to San Juan to accommodate an increase in our handling of temperature-controlled shipments to Puerto Rico’s pharmaceutical and other companies,” a United spokesperson told Travel Weekly.
The flights are currently available in United’s booking system.
United is celebrating its 25th anniversary of flights to Puerto Rico. “This announcement is just the beginning, and we look forward to continuing to do business with customers throughout the island,” Millie Uriarte, regional director of sales for Puerto Rico, United Airlines, told Travel Weekly.
United’s Cuba service starts Nov. 29 and will run daily between Newark and Havana (HAV). A Sunday-only service will start from Houston (IAH) in December.
