LANSING, N.Y. — United Airlines plans to resume air service from Ithaca to Washington-Dulles on June 3.
The service will involve two daily flights Monday through Friday and one daily flight on Saturdays and Sundays from Ithaca Tompkins International Airport (ITH), per a Thursday news release.
Resumption comes after United Airlines paused the flights following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020.
“We are thrilled that United Airlines is resuming flights to and from ITH,” Mike Hall, airport director, said. “We want to thank United for rejoining American Airlines and Delta Air Lines as a service provider at ITH, filling our schedule with a critical connection to Washington, D.C.”
With the resumption of United service, the number of available daily seats could reach 250 by early June, and the airport may continue to see added flights from airline partners “as demand increases and restrictions ease,” ITH said.
