Earlier this month, United Airlines garnered a flurry of headlines over an intriguing \u2014 and borderline obscure<\/a> \u2014 series of new destinations unveiled for 2025.<\/p>\n

Over the next year, the Chicago-based carrier will launch service to places like Greenland, Mongolia, Senegal and Sicily, Italy, in the process signaling a clear interest in taking travelers beyond the most tried and trafficked overseas destinations.<\/p>\n

Though the calendar still says 2024, that strategy is already beginning to play out.<\/p>\n

And it took a big step forward Friday morning, when a United Boeing 767 from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) landed at Marrakesh Airport (RAK) in Marrakech, Morocco. With that, United becomes the only U.S. carrier to offer nonstop service to the increasingly popular North African destination.<\/p>\n

Inside EWR’s Terminal C Thursday night, the sounds, sights and smells of an airline inaugural flight filled the gate area, starting nearly three hours before this much-anticipated flight took off.<\/p>\n
