Chicago-based United Airlines resumed its seasonal service between Washington DC and Athens, Greece, on Sunday. The flights, which will operate daily for the next several months, will be exclusively operated by the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.
United previously planned to return the service early next month, but the airline reportedly moved up the start date last fall as part of a shake-up to many of its transatlantic route plans. Throughout the route’s run this year, the US legacy carrier will offer nearly 95,000 seats.
