United Airlines grows transatlantic service from Edinburgh – Daily Business

United Airlines is extending its seasonal service between Edinburgh and Washington DC to almost year-round, increasing its seat offering from the Scottish capital by almost 10%.

Already flying daily during the summer season until 25 October, the airline’s nonstop service will continue into the winter season on a five-times weekly basis, operating from 26 October 2025 until 5 January 2026 and resuming 20 February 2026. From 29 March 2026, the service will revert to a daily operation.

United’s extended service between Edinburgh and Washington D.C. builds on existing 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.

United is the only airline offering year-round service from Edinburgh to the U.S. and offers more seats and flights from Scotland to the U.S. than any other airline.

“This is fantastic news as we see United adding yet more growth at Scotland’s busiest airport,” said Gordon Dewar, chief executive of Edinburgh Airport.

“Taking this service to almost year-round shows the clear demand for direct connections between Scotland and the USA, and with three routes from Edinburgh Airport, it’s also a huge show of confidence in the airport as United’s base in Scotland.”
