CLEVELAND, Ohio – United Airlines resumes service from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport to Las Vegas and Phoenix, adding two popular routes flown during the airline’s hub days.
The service on both routes is expected to be seasonal from mid-December to the end of March.
The airline last flew regularly to Las Vegas in 2016 and to Phoenix in 2014.
With the additions – along with new and ongoing connections to numerous destinations in Florida and the Caribbean – United will, according to its own account, “have the most departures the airline has flown from Cleveland’s Hopkins International Airport since 2014,” the year the Airline has closed its hub here, fly.
The airline noted its ongoing service from Cleveland to four cities in Florida, as well as weekly flights to Cancun. Last month United announced a new weekly non-stop service from Cleveland to Nassau, Bahamas.
Thursday’s Cleveland News were part of a broader announcement from United that highlighted the continued focus on domestic recreational routes as the coronavirus pandemic continues to dampen demand for business travel.
The announcement also included new and resumed routes to Florida from Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Columbus and Milwaukee, as well as flights to popular ski destinations in the western United States.
According to United, the airline plans to offer more than 3,500 daily domestic flights in December, representing 91% of its domestic capacity compared to 2019. The airline also said that search for vacation travel on united.com and the airline’s app increased 16% compared to 2019.
“We see a lot of catching up to do with our data and are offering a December plan that focuses on the two things people want most over the holidays: warm sunshine and fresh snow,” said Ankit Gupta, vice president of network Planning and scheduling at United. “We know families and friends are dying to get back together this Christmas season, so we’re excited to add new flights that will help them connect and celebrate together.”
