The US company United Airlines will again fly between New York-Newark and Palma de Mallorca in the 2023 summer flight schedule. In the previous year, high yields could be achieved with satisfactory capacity utilization, according to the company.

From the end of May 2023, the carrier wants to fly again three times a week between the US metropolis and the Balearic Islands. As a rule, Boeing 767-300ER should be used as aircraft. On board these aircraft, United Airlines offers 30 seats in business, 46 in economy plus and 138 in economy class.

The current plan is for the seasonal route to be offered by the end of September 2023. In the previous year, the non-stop connection was offered from the beginning of June 2022. Prior to this, Mallorca's tourism management had been trying for many years to get flights to the USA resumed. At United Airlines you have found a sympathetic ear and the carrier took the risk in the summer of the previous year – initially on a trial basis.

In general, the Balearic Islands want to inspire more tourists from North America to vacation on their islands. In other words: They want to open up new markets and hope for wealthy customers, because Mallorca in particular has been trying to shake off the image as a ballermann-drinking vacation spot for Germans for several years. This is also reflected in the insidious, sharp rise in prices.
