United Airlines has extended its new Glasgow to New York service in response to demand.
The route will launch on 9 May, and was originally scheduled to finish on 23 September. However, it will now continue operating until 24 October.
The airline last operated from Glasgow in 2019.
The service will operate on a Boeing 737 MAX-8 aircraft, with 16 Premium Economy seats, 54 Economy Plus seats and 96 Economy seats.
The flight will depart Glasgow at 14:00, arriving into Newark at 16:35 local time. The return flight will leave Newark at 22:15pm, arriving in Glasgow at 10:10 local time the next day.
United Airlines Director of Sales UK and Ireland Karolien De Hertogh said: “We are pleased to see strong interest in our new upcoming service from Glasgow to New York/Newark and this significant expansion further underlines the importance of Scotland within United’s global route network.
“Our customers in Scotland will be able to benefit from even more time and travel options to visit New York City, as well as the possibility to connect seamlessly via our US hubs to over 140 onward destinations across the Americas. We look forward to welcoming our customers on board.”
Airline Director at Glasgow Airport owner AGS Airports Chris Tibbett said: “We were absolutely thrilled when United Airlines announced its return to Glasgow Airport for summer 2026 and the increased frequency before the service even starts highlights the strong appetite for connectivity between the two countries.
“The return of United Airlines further strengthens Glasgow Airport’s transatlantic connectivity and is a boost for the region and the wider Scottish economy.”
