United Airlines has announced changes to its flight schedule for the Boeing 777-200, redirecting one of its daily flights from Washington Dulles International Airport to San Diego International Airport, instead flying to Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport. This adjustment will take effect in late May, with the last flight to San Diego scheduled for May 20 and service to Las Vegas commencing on May 22. The change was highlighted by Ishrion Aviation on Bluesky.
According to Cirium's Diio Mi airline planning tool, this route alteration is temporary and expected to remain in place until August 18. By September, United Airlines plans to resume flights between Washington Dulles and San Diego using the Boeing 777-200. In June, United will operate the aircraft from Washington Dulles to Denver International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport as well.
The decision comes amid increased competition following the Department of Transportation's allocation of beyond-perimeter slots at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) to Alaska Airlines. As a result, Alaska Airlines began offering flights from DCA to San Diego on March 21. "These flights will provide more choice to guests and communities across our network," said an Alaska Airlines representative.
