United Airlines prolonga serviço sazonal entre o Porto e Nova Iorque/ Newark em 2026

A United Airlines prolongou o seu serviço sazonal diário do Porto para Nova Iorque/Newark em 2026, começando mais de um mês antes, a 22 de fevereiro, e oferecendo um aumento de quase 10% nos lugares disponíveis para o verão de 2026 em comparação com 2025. Com dois voos diários durante o pico de verão, o serviço da United a partir do Porto tem prevista a operação até 30 de novembro de 2026.

O prolongamento do serviço sazonal a partir do Porto soma-se aos voos existentes da United durante todo o ano de Lisboa para Nova Iorque/Newark, serviço quase durante todo o ano de Lisboa para Washington D.C., bem como serviços sazonais de Faro, Ponta Delgada, Açores e Madeira para Nova Iorque/Newark. Para o verão de 2026, a United irá operar até seis serviços diários diretos de Portugal para os EUA, oferecendo mais voos entre Portugal e os Estados Unidos do que qualquer outra companhia aérea dos EUA.

“Temos o prazer de prolongar o nosso serviço sazonal entre o Porto e Nova Iorque/Newark durante o verão de 2026, permitindo aos nossos clientes reservar a sua próxima escapadinha nos EUA ainda mais cedo”, declarou Antonio de Toro, Regional Sales Manager Portugal e Espanha. “O prolongamento do nosso serviço do Porto oferecerá aos clientes da United em Portugal ainda mais opções de viagem e flexibilidade, com a possibilidade de usufruírem de ligações cómodas através do nosso hub de Nova Iorque/Newark a mais de 60 destinos nas Américas.”

“Estamos entusiasmados com a confirmação da United Airlines de que iniciará a rota Nova Iorque-Porto mais cedo este ano”, afirmou Karen Strougo, Diretora Comercial, ANA | VINCI Airports. “Estas são excelentes notícias para os nossos passageiros e para toda a região Norte. Esta decisão reflete o compromisso da companhia aérea com esta ligação estratégica e confirma o apelo do Porto no mercado norte-americano. O Porto é um destino durante todo o ano e o Aeroporto do Porto reforça o seu papel como porta de entrada de excelência para o norte de Portugal, a Galiza e a Península Ibérica.”




O prolongamento da rota do Porto para Nova Iorque/Newark faz parte do calendário mais alargado do verão de 2026 da United Airlines, com serviços para quatro novas cidades na Croácia, Itália, Escócia e Espanha – liderando o caminho com o maior número de destinos no Atlântico do que qualquer transportadora dos EUA. No verão de 2026, a United será a única companhia aérea dos EUA a lançar voos diretos para quatro novos destinos a partir do seu hub em Nova Iorque/Newark para Split, Croácia; Bari, Itália; Glasgow, Escócia e Santiago de Compostela, Espanha. A companhia aérea também está a lançar o seu primeiro serviço entre Washington/Dulles e Reykjavik, Islândia, novo serviço diário sem escalas durante todo o ano de Nova Iorque/Newark para Seul, Coreia do Sul, bem como quatro voos semanais adicionais, para um total de 18 voos semanais, entre Nova Iorque/Newark e Tel Aviv, Israel. Todos os voos estão sujeitos a aprovação governamental.

Globalmente, no próximo ano a United oferecerá mais de 850 voos diários de e para 150 destinos internacionais, incluindo 41 que nenhuma outra companhia aérea da rede dos EUA serve.

O serviço sazonal sem escalas da United do Porto para Nova Iorque/Newark será operado com aviões Boeing 757-200, com um total de 176 lugares – 16 assentos-cama na classe executiva United Polaris SM e 160 lugares em classe económica, incluindo 42 lugares Economy Plus SM com espaço adicional para as pernas e mais espaço pessoal.
