United Airlines is extending its seasonal service between Edinburgh and Washington D.C. to almost year-round.
Already flying daily during the summer season until 25 October, the airline’s nonstop capital-to-capital service will continue into the winter season on a five-times weekly basis, operating from 26 October 2025 until 5 January 2026 and then resuming 20 February 2026.
From 29 March 2026, the service will revert to a daily operation. With this route extension, United is increasing its seat offer from Edinburgh by almost 10 per cent.
United also operates daily year-round flights from Edinburgh to New York/Newark, doubling from once to twice daily during the peak summer season, as well as a daily seasonal service between Edinburgh and Chicago O’Hare.
“As the only airline connecting Edinburgh to the United States year-round, we are delighted to announce this significant expansion which further underlines the importance of our Edinburgh services within United’s global network”, said Karolien De Hertogh, Director Sales U.K. and Ireland, United Airlines.
“Our customers in Scotland can now benefit from even more time and travel options to visit Washington D.C., as well as an unrivalled route network from United’s Washington/Dulles hub, offering convenient nonstop connections to 65 destinations across the Americas.”
