United Airlines will launch nonstop service between Bradley International Airport and San Francisco International Airport next year, officials announced Friday.
The year-round service will begin March 28, 2027, and operate daily with a scheduled evening departure at 6:30 p.m. from Bradley International Airport, according to a news release from airport officials.
Travelers will be able to connect to destinations throughout the western United States, Asia, and Oceania via United’s San Francisco hub.
“We are thrilled that United Airlines is strengthening its presence at Bradley International Airport with the addition of year-round nonstop service to San Francisco,” said Michael W. Shea, executive director and CEO of the Connecticut Airport Authority, which oversees Bradley operations.
“This flight connects our community with an important business and leisure destination while providing travelers with greater convenience and expanded access to the West Coast and destinations across the globe.”
The new route underscores United’s commitment to Bradley, with the airline now connecting the region to five of its eight U.S. hubs, according to the news release.
Nonstop service to Houston was added earlier this year, and Bradley already offers direct flights to Chicago, Denver and Washington, D.C.
“We’re excited to grow our network from Hartford with new daily service to San Francisco, providing Connecticut travelers with convenient service to the West Coast,” said Mark Weithofer, managing director of Domestic Network Planning at United. “This new service strengthens our commitment to the region, offering customers greater choice and seamless connections across our global network from San Francisco.”
Last year, Bradley received over $8 million in federal funding for upgrades and improvements at Terminal A. The airport also recently completed a three-year project to expand security checkpoints, adding more corridors and extra lanes for TSA checks.
In addition to United, the airport is served by Aer Lingus with flights to Dublin, American Airlines, Breeze Airways, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines, and Sun Country Airlines.
