United Airlines has unveiled its Summer 2026 schedule, which includes new flights from Newark to Bari, Split, Santiago de Compostela, and Glasgow, as well as from Newark to Seoul and Washington, D.C., to Reykjavik. The airline also plans to restore all seasonal destinations from Summer 2025.
According to United’s official Newsroom article, the airline will be the only U.S. carrier offering nonstop service from Newark/New York to the four new destinations—Split in Croatia, Bari in Italy, Glasgow in Scotland, and Santiago de Compostela in Spain—in Summer 2026. The announcement highlights United's expanding transatlantic footprint and its leadership in European connectivity from the U.S. East Coast. The press release mentions nearly 3,000 weekly international round-trips targeted for that season.
PR Newswire reports that United will add new services from Newark/New York to Seoul, South Korea (year-round daily on a Boeing 787-9), and from Washington D.C. to Reykjavik, Iceland (seasonal daily on a Boeing 757-200). The full rollout includes all nine destinations from United’s previous Summer 2025 expansion—such as Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia and Nuuk in Greenland—marking a complete return plus growth. Tickets for these new flights are available immediately but are subject to governmental approval.
