In addition to New York and Los Angeles, Washington is to be added to the BER in the second attempt in 2023. Delta is also planning to return to Berlin. The desire to expand long-haul connections seems to be slowly gaining momentum again in Berlin. Just a few weeks after the new Norwegian long-haul low-cost carrier Norse's surprise announcement that it would be flying to two new US destinations from Berlin, United is planning to add a fourth destination airport in the USA from Berlin in 2023 with Washington. With Norse's market entry, the 787 Dreamliners will fly to Kennedy Airport (JFK) from Berlin from next month. This is a new destination airport from BER, which means that two airports in the New York metropolitan area will be on the flight schedule: John F. Kennedy/JFK (Norse) and Newark (United). The Dreamliners, with two classes of seating, will also start a non-stop flight to the west coast of the USA several times a week, bound for Los Angeles/LAX. Now, a few weeks later, United is also announcing an expansion of the BER flight schedule, which was already planned for the summer of 2022. According to current plans, from the end of May 2023, a Boeing 767-400 will take off daily as flight "UA235" in 9 hours 20 minutes directly from Berlin to Washington DC / IAD. United's 767 jets will be equipped with the Polaris business class, which is popular among American FQTV. One "Berlin returnee" could be SkyTeam member Delta Airlines, which has also opened a non-stop connection from BER to New York JFK for booking from the end of May 2023, making it a direct competitor to the 787 Dreamliners from
