United rotates aircraft on Newark‑Athens route seasonally

United Airlines changes the aircraft used on its Newark–Athens service throughout the year, operating a Boeing 787‑10 from April to September, a Boeing 777‑200ER from 24 September to 23 October, and a Boeing 767‑400ER in the low‑season period.

The 787‑10 flies the route in nine hours and 20 minutes with 318 seats, the 777‑200ER carries 276 seats, and the 767‑400ER holds 231 seats; the flight remains daily but the weekly frequency falls from ten to seven flights, and United faces competition from Emirates’ fifth‑freedom 777 service and from Delta Air Lines and Norse on the JFK‑Athens market.
