United Airlines on Thursday will launch the first of its previously announced flights to four new leisure destinations from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG).
The first of the new nonstop flights is scheduled to depart CVG at 10:15 a.m. for Pensacola, Fla., according to a press release.
United will follow up that flight with new service to Hilton Head, S.C., scheduled to take off from CVG at 1:37 p.m.
On Friday, the airline will begin service from the local airport to Portland, Maine, at 8:35 a.m., and Charleston, S.C., at 2:30 p.m.
Each new flight will operate three days a week and complement United's existing year-round and seasonal service to the following cities: Chicago, Denver, Houston, Newark, N.J., and Washington.
CVG is expecting a surge in leisure travel heading into the summer months and is already seeing daily passenger traffic between 75%-80% of pre-pandemic levels, airport officials told The Enquirer.
