United will begin year-round daily
service between San Francisco and Amsterdam on March 30.
The route, to be flown
in a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, will be United's fifth to the Netherlands
capital, joining flights from its hubs at Newark, Washington Dulles, Chicago O'Hare
and Houston Bush Intercontinental.
United will compete against twice-daily KLM
service on the route. KLM operates San Francisco-Amsterdam as part of its joint
venture with Delta.
Delta also will start seasonal service next summer between Newark
and Naples, Italy, making it the lone carrier to fly from the U.S. to Naples.
United will operate the daily route between May 22 and Oct.
4 using a Boeing 767-300 aircraft.
In addition, United will launch seasonal Newark-Prague
service next summer. The daily route begins on June 6 and ends on Oct. 4. United
will operate the service in a Boeing 767-300, competing with seasonal Delta
service to Prague from New York Kennedy.
