United Airlines this fall is adding a new seasonal, nonstop route connecting San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and West Palm Beach, Florida’s newly named President Donald J. Trump International Airport (PBI).
The weekly Saturday service will launch Nov. 7. The carrier plans to operate the flight using a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, featuring 16 Business Class seats and 150 Economy seats.
The announcement comes following the July 1 official renaming of the West Palm Beach airport, which was previously named Palm Beach International, to President Donald J. Trump International Airport, following a new Florida state law.
The airport serves more than 8 million passengers annually and is expanding its non-stop service options to major Western hubs, including to Los Angeles (serviced by JetBlue and Delta) and Denver (serviced by United and Southwest).
