United Airlines has announced a unique domestic flight scheduled for April 1, using a Boeing 767-300ER aircraft. The flight will operate between Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). Tickets for this one-time service are available for purchase in economy, economy plus, and business/first class.

The airline's booking system shows the availability of this 167-seat configuration on the 767-300ER. According to United Airlines' website, these aircraft have two seating configurations: one with 46 business, 22 premium economy, and 99 economy seats; the other with 30 business, 24 premium economy, 32 economy plus, and 117 economy class seats.

Data from Cirium’s Diio Mi airline planning tool confirms that United Airlines will operate this flight on April 1. However, the reason behind scheduling this single flight remains unclear. It coincides with schedule changes as the International Air Transport Association (IATA) transitions from winter to summer seasons on March 30.

In March, United's daily flights between Washington-Dulles and Zurich Airport (ZRH) use the same aircraft type. From April onwards, these flights will switch to a different configuration offering more seats. Meanwhile, eight additional weekly departures from Newark are planned for April compared to March. These include flights to London Heathrow Airport (LHR), Athens Airport (ATH), Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE), and Naples Airport (NAP).

The current routes to Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK) and Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport (CDG) operated by the premium-heavy 767-300ERs will see changes. The Paris route will transition to using a larger capacity Boeing 767-400ER alongside an existing daily service by a Boeing 777-200ER.

United Airlines has reported strong financial performance in Europe. In Q4 of 2024, European flights generated $2.09 billion in revenue out of an international total of $5.1 billion and overall revenue of $13.2 billion for the quarter.

Andrew Nocella, United's executive vice president and chief commercial officer, noted during a recent earnings call that Europe is increasingly becoming a year-round destination for travelers. This shift is helping United Airlines balance its European network throughout the year.
