United launches Geneva-Washington route

19 Nov 2008 by Mark Caswell

United Airlines is to launch a non-stop route from Geneva to Washington DC, and will reinstate its London-Denver service from March 29.

The daily Geneva-Washington flights - which are subject to government approval and are yet to have an official start date – will be plied with Boeing 767 aircraft featuring the carrier’s latest fully-flat beds in business class.

Flight UA974 will depart Washington at 1800, arriving into Geneva at 0800 the next day. The return leg UA975 will leave Geneva at 1200, landing back in the US at 1456.

Meanwhile United is also to reinstate its London Heathrow-Denver route for summer 2009. The service was originally launched at the end of March following the Open Skies agreement, but suspended on October 25 due to “record-high fuel prices and a softening US economy” (see online news July 4). It will now run from March 29 to October 23, 2009, using Boeing 777 aircraft.

Daily flight UA948 will depart Denver at 1959, arriving into London at 1215 the next day, with return leg UA939 leaving Heathrow at 1305 and arriving back into Denver at 1601.

United is currently fitting its fully-flat seating onto its fleet of 777s, and it's not clear at this stage whether the London-Denver route will feature the new product.
