Mallorca and the Portuguese islands of Azores are other destinations that United has included in its offer for the summer of next year. The directors of the company hope to be able to seduce the population of the east coast of the USA by the greater proximity of these new destinations that it offers, especially the Archipelago, compared to Hawaii, on whose beaches they choose to spend their days off a great number of Americans each year.
“Travelers looking for an additional new beach destination can enjoy the stunning white and black sand beaches of Spain’s Canary Islands with the new United flight from New York (Newark) to Tenerife. United will be the only airline that will fly directly between the Canary Islands and North America with a service three times a week that will be launched on June 9 with a Boeing 757-200 “, explains the statement made public yesterday by the airline itself.
Air Europa was the last airline to connect the Archipelago with the US at the beginning of the last decade. In that case, the route covered the route between Tenerife North and Miami. United’s commitment makes it the company dedicated to passenger air transport that will fly to more Spanish destinations from the North American country. It has been connecting for a long time with the cities of Madrid and Barcelona.
The transatlantic expansion announced yesterday is the largest in the history of the company and is made up of ten new flights and five new destinations: Amman (Jordan) and Bergen (Norway), in addition to the two Spanish archipelagos and Ponta Delgada (Azores). On neither of these routes will you have to face competition from another US airline.

The executive described the destinations chosen for the expansion as “hot spots.” “Our customers will love them,” he added in the note published by the company on its website.
