Three years after service to Washington Dulles ceased, United Airlines will revive the route from Ithaca Tompkins International Airport in March 2025. Twice-daily flights to Dulles begin March 30, with a third flight added in August, officials announced Friday.
The switch from Newark to Dulles aims to reduce delays and improve connections. Officials cite economic benefits for the region and reliable travel options, as Dulles avoids NYC airspace congestion.
Dulles offers direct access to Washington, DC via the Silver Line Metro, which opened in 2023. United also touts Dulles as a growing East Coast hub, linking Central New York travelers to a broader network of destinations.
