United Airlines is a major U.S. airline which operates a large domestic and international route network across the United States and on all six inhabited continents. Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is one of eight hubs that United operates in the U.S. and serves as its “gateway to the nation’s capital”, connecting business and leisure travelers to the seat of government.  

United began hub operations at IAD more than 35 years ago, with 58 departures serving 24 destinations. Since then, the airline’s operations at Dulles have grown three times that size, now operating more than 230 daily flights to more than 100 destinations around the world, including 10 world capitals and most recently new service to Accra, Ghana, Lagos, Nigeria, Athens, Greece and the newly announced route to Cape Town, South Africa beginning Nov. 17 and Berlin, Germany in the spring of 2023. Read more...
