United Airlines submitted an application to the U.S. Department of Transportation on Friday for authority to increase service
between New York/Newark Liberty and Shanghai Pudong beginning
in June 2020. If approved, United's second daily flight will
create new opportunities for customers to conveniently connect
to Shanghai from more than 90 U.S. and Canadian
destinations served by United from New York/Newark. The
effort is in response to “the demand for travel between each
country's financial center, which has grown annually for the last
several years," said Oscar Munoz, United's Chief Executive
Officer.
This proposed additional flight provides enhanced time of day coverage for customers traveling between New York/Newark and Shanghai, with United offering both a morning and afternoon departure from both New York/Newark and Shanghai. An expanded schedule will further enhance United's service as the only U.S. carrier serving mainland China and Hong Kong from the New York City area and in the Northeastern United States.
