UNITED Airlines is planning to start daily services between its hub at San Francisco International Airport and Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport on April 9, 2013.
The flights will operate using Boeing 777 aircraft with 269 seats – eight in United Global First, 40 in United BusinessFirst, 104 in United Economy Plus, and 117 in United Economy.
The new San Francisco-Taipei flights will be available for booking once United receives government approval.
In the past 18 months, United has added new routes from its US hubs to international destinations such as Shanghai, along with new intra-Asia routes between its Tokyo hub and Hong Kong, and between its Guam hub and Okinawa.
