United Continental is planning to launch flights from Washington DC to Dublin next summer.
The airline will fly daily between the two cities from June 8, 2012 (subject to government approval), adding to its existing service from Dublin to New York Newark.
The new service will be operated by Continental Airlines' two-class B757-200 aircraft, featuring the carrier’s fully-flat Business First seat.
Flight CO127/UA127 will depart Dublin at 1125, arriving in Washington Dulles at 1425, with the return leg leaving the US as flight CO126/UA126 at 2202, arriving back in Dublin at 0955 the following day.
The news comes hot on the heels of the carrier's announcement that it will start a new link between Manchester and Washington DC next May.
