United Airlines has submitted an application with the US Department of Transportation (DOT) for a new daily roundtrip flight between Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
""With our hub in San Francisco, United is well positioned to serve the strong customer demand for air travel between Washington National and the Bay Area,"" said Patrick Quayle, senior vice president of Global Network Planning and Alliances at United Airlines.
""If awarded by the DOT, this new service will give customers a unique morning departure from Washington National and a unique afternoon departure from San Francisco, as well as more connectivity for both domestic and international travellers via SFO.""
As an alternate proposal to United's additional DCA-SFO flight, the airline has also applied for a DCA-Los Angeles (LAX) flight.
Both potential routes would be flown using Boeing MAX 8.
