United Airlines to Expand Seasonal Services from Athens to the US for 2025

United Airlines on Thursday announced an expansion to its daily nonstop seasonal services from Athens to the United States for summer 2025.

The airline is increasing service to New York/Newark from 7 to 10 weekly flights (subject to government approval) and also resuming three weeks earlier, services to both its New York/Newark and Chicago O’Hare hubs.

Just a year after the original route launch in May 2024, United will also introduce a state-of-the-art Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner on its Athens to Chicago O’Hare service, offering over 30 percent more seats compared with the Boeing 787-8 previously operating this route.

Together with United’s third daily nonstop seasonal route between Athens and Washington D.C., the airline’s overall seat capacity from Greece to the US will increase by nearly 30 percent for summer 2025.

According to United Airlines Managing Director International Sales Marcel Fuchs, the increase in the airline’s seat offer provides even greater travel choice and more possibilities for customers flying from Greece to connect via its US hubs to 120 destinations across the Americas.

The extended seasonal services from Athens are part of United’s largest international expansion in its history, adding 11 new flights and eight new destinations (subject to government approvals) for customers next summer.

Starting in May 2025, United will launch five new flights from its hub in New York/Newark to destinations no other U.S. airline serves, including Bilbao, Spain; Palermo, Italy; Nuuk, Greenland and Madeira Island and Faro, Portugal. The airline is also adding three new routes from Washington D.C./Dulles, including its first-ever flight to Dakar, Senegal operating year-round and new seasonal flights to Nice, France and Venice, Italy.

United has been serving Greece with summer seasonal flights since 2016 and today offers daily nonstop seasonal services from Athens to New York/Newark, Chicago O‘Hare and Washington D.C.
