United Airlines says it plans to resume service on nearly 30 international routes in September, including flights to Asia, Australia, Israel and Latin America.

The airline intends to fly 37 per cent of its overall schedule in September as compared to the same period last year. This is a 4 per cent increase in capacity compared to its plans for August this year.

“In September, we’re adding even more options for leisure travellers or those who want to visit friends and relatives, whether that’s within the United States or around the world,” he added.
