United Airlines will begin its largest-ever international expansion from its hub at San Francisco International Airport. The Chicago-based airline will begin offering non-stop, year-round flights to Toronto (YYZ) and Melbourne (MEL), Australia, as well as seasonal service to New Delhi (DEL), India, starting this year.

The airline will also add a second daily flight between San Francisco and Seoul (INC), South Korea. This year will also see the carrier begin new, year-round, non-stop service between San Francisco and Auckland (AKL), New Zealand; Tahiti (PPT), French Polynesia; and Amsterdam (AMS).

The airline is seeking government approvals for its new twice-daily, non-stop, year-round service between San Francisco and Toronto, which should start March 31. United’s new non-stop, year-round service between San Francisco and Melbourne three times per week will launch Oct. 29. And the airline’s new seasonal service between San Francisco and New Delhi will begin Dec. 5.

Starting March 30, United will become the first U.S. carrier to fly between California and Amsterdam. On April 1, the airline will inaugurate a second daily flight between San Francisco and Seoul. The year-round flights between San Francisco and Papeete, Tahiti, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and year-round service between San Francisco and Auckland three-times-weekly also start March 30.

“This route expansion solidifies United’s position at San Francisco as the gateway airline serving destinations across the Pacific, the continental United States, as well as to Europe and beyond,” said Oscar Munoz, CEO, United, in a statement. “It serves as a fitting capstone to all our efforts that made 2018 a breakthrough year for United, from delivering strong financial performance to currently leading in on-time departures for the second year in a row.”
