Newark Liberty International Airport

United Airlines has announced the extension of seasonal flights with daily direct connections from Athens to US for the summer of 2025.

The airline is increasing its weekly flights to New York/Newark from seven to 10.

Additionally, it will launch flights to New York/Newark and Chicago's O'Hare three weeks earlier than previous schedules.

United Airlines announced today the expansion of its seasonal flights with daily direct connections from Athens to the USA for the summer of 2025.

Dubai-based airline Emirates announced on Thursday that its service linking Newark airport in New York with Athens will, as of February 10, 2025, feature the Premium Economy Class on its upgraded Boeing 777 aircraft for its EK 209 and EK 210 daily services.

United Airlines has launched a new daily direct flight between Athens International Airport and its main hub in Chicago O'Hare, increasing flights from Greece by more than 30%.

This new seasonal flight from Athens to Chicago O'Hare adds to United's existing flights from Greece, which started earlier this summer.

A drone briefly disrupted air traffic Tuesday at Newark airport, one of New York's three major hubs for air traffic, US officials said.
There were no further drones sighted, and arrivals were allowed to resume after a "short" suspension, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman told AFP.
