UNITED Airlines (UA) has unveiled the line-up of maiden international routes for its fleet of new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
In addition to daily services from its Denver hub to Tokyo (Narita), starting March 31, 2013, UA will also operate daily, nonstop 787 services between its Los Angeles hub and its Narita hub, beginning January 3, 2013, and Los Angeles to Shanghai, beginning March 30, 2013.
“The 787 is the right aircraft for these routes because of its many passenger-friendly amenities and superior operating economics,” said UA senior vice president of network, Greg Hart.
“With 50 787s on order, we look forward to the many new route opportunities that will become available to United and our customers in the future.”
UA’s 787 planes are configured with 36 seats in United BusinessFirst, 72 seats in United Economy Plus and 111 seats in United Economy.
