United Airlines has announced two significant changes to its flight network. The airline will introduce a new international route from Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport in Guam to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, starting April 2. This 1,729-mile route will be serviced twice weekly using a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Flights are scheduled to depart Guam at 7 a.m., arriving in Taipei at 9:25 a.m., with the return flight leaving Taipei at 10:30 a.m. and landing back in Guam at 4:20 p.m.
The new service marks the resumption of a route previously operated by Continental Micronesia until October 2005, prior to its merger with United. Currently, China Airlines is the sole operator on this route, presenting United with an opportunity to expand its market presence in the region.
Sam Shinohara, United's managing director of airport operations for the Asia-Pacific region, commented on the launch: "The launch of the new Taipei-Guam service underscores United's commitment to Guam and the region by opening new routes that offer more ways for travelers to enjoy Guam and the Micronesia region."
