United Airlines is adding new routes this summer to Croatia, Greece and Iceland, all of which have announced policies allowing vaccinated travellers to visit without quarantine.
The carrier will begin three weekly flights from Newark to Dubrovnik on 8 July on Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, which will be the only nonstop service between the United States and Croatia, according to United. American Airlines had operated service between Philadelphia and Dubrovnik, but it ended that route as part of announced network plans last summer.
In addition, United will begin daily service on 1 July between Washington Dulles and Athens, using Boeing 787-8 aircraft, and between Chicago O'Hare and Reykjavik, using Boeing 757-200 aircraft. United previously has had summer service to both cities from Newark, and that service also will resume on 3 June.
United reports that searches on its website for flights to all three countries increased 61 per cent over the past month. All the new routes are subject to government approval and are scheduled to run until 3 October.
