United Airlines is planning to launch flights to Marrakesh, Morocco, and Medellin, Colombia, and ramp up its service to Asia, in the carrier's latest bet that consumers will continue to shell out for trips abroad.
The flights from United's Newark, New Jersey, hub to Marrakesh are scheduled to begin Oct. 24 using a Boeing 767-300ER.
The airline is also starting year-round service to Cebu, Philippines, from Tokyo's Narita Airport.
U.S. airlines have increased their international service coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic, and revenue growth from trips abroad has outpaced domestic sales.
United also said it will offer four weekly flights between Shanghai and Los Angeles starting Aug. 29.
