From Munich across the pond: With immediate effect, the American airline United Airlines is resuming its flight connection to Washington.

United Airlines is the first airline from the United States to fly to Munich Airport again. This is another small step towards normality. A Boeing 787-9 takes off for the American capital three times a week - Friday, Sunday and Monday. It is also planned to start transporting passengers from Munich to Newark three times a week from August, as the airport reports.

“We are very pleased that United Airlines is starting with us again. The restart of our American partners expands the transatlantic flight offer and thus strengthens the hub quality of our airport ”, says airport manager Jost Lammers.
