United Airlines is tweaking its long-haul network with two notable changes.<\/p>\n

The first is that the Chicago-based carrier is dropping the longest domestic route in its entire portfolio: Newark to Honolulu. At 4,962 miles, the Newark-to-Honolulu route is also the carrier’s longest to Hawaii.<\/p>\n

The airline will suspend this route after April 13, 2024, as first seen in Cirium schedules and later confirmed by a carrier spokesperson.<\/p>\n

While there is no published resumption date yet, United confirmed to TPG that this route will return next winter. If this indeed happens, it’s possible that the carrier is turning the Newark-to-Honolulu route<\/a> into winter-seasonal service going forward.<\/p>\n

Aside from the pandemic-related suspension in 2020, United has flown this route pretty consistently on a year-round basis since its merger with Continental, Cirium schedules show, so it’ll be interesting to see how the airline’s network strategy evolves in the coming months.<\/p>\n
