International network updates

Due to government mandates or restrictions in place prohibiting travel, our international passenger schedule has been reduced. We will continue flying daily operations to and from the destinations in Asia, Australia, Europe, India, the Middle East, and Latin America. We also continue to operate an industry-leading schedule of cargo-only flights to offer more capacity for your shipping needs.

Domestic network updates

We have taken every opportunity to continue offering service to as many airports as possible through other United hubs as we have reduced our domestic flying. Domestic widebody connections will continue between many of our U.S. hubs.
