United Airlines will increase service to China from two to four weekly flights between San Francisco and Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport via Seoul’s Incheon International Airport.
Starting from September 4, United will operate four weekly flights with a B777-300ER aircraft from San Francisco to Shanghai on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Passengers traveling from Shanghai will return to San Francisco on Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
“United has served mainland China for more than three decades and we look forward to continuing to connect customers traveling between the US and Shanghai with two additional flights beginning in September,” said Patrick Quayle, United’s vice president of International Network and Alliances.
