United Airlines relaunches direct flights to popular European destination
For those of us keen on a European adventure, United Airlines is relaunching direct services connecting US travellers with Greece
There’s true signs the travel sector is bouncing back post-COVID, with United Airlines restarting direct flights between the U.S and Greece.
From May, those keen on a European adventure will be able to travel with United to Athens.
Flights will depart from both international hubs in New York and Washington DC.
The daily to and from flights will be carried out by United’s world class Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes.
Will United operate these flights using SAF fuel?
While the new routes will be serviced by the popular United Airlines 787 Dreamliner, it remains to be seen if the airline will source sustainable fuel on the route.
Known as SAF fuel, United Airlines is one of few airlines to use the sustainable fuel on its aircraft.
In December, United operated the world’s very first flight that used 100% sustainable aviation fuel.
The carrier flew a plane with more than 100 passengers on board, travelling from Chicago to Washington, DC, using only renewable fuel.
SAF has the potential to deliver the performance of petroleum-based jet fuel but with a fraction of its carbon footprint, and according to the U.S. Department of Energy, the country’s vast feedstock resources are enough to meet the projected fuel demand of the entire U.S. aviation industry.

All major stock indices are starting the week slightly higher, giving investors cautious optimism. Analysts are keeping an eye on movements in small caps and mega-cap tech stocks amid these early gains.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has climbed to 4.23%, the highest since last September. This follows Kevin Warsh emerging as the frontrunner for the next Federal Reserve Chair, sparking speculation on future monetary policy.
Rising yields could trigger a pullback in small-cap stocks, while investors may pivot toward mega-cap tech, expected to deliver strong earnings growth. Overall, the market is likely to see a neutral to slightly bearish trend next week due to overbought conditions.
