United Airlines has officially launched a new nonstop route between Chattanooga Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport, strengthening travel options for both business and leisure travelers. Operating five days a week, excluding Tuesdays and Saturdays, the route connects Scenic City directly to United’s Newark global hub, offering seamless access to New York City and onward connections to 176 destinations across 56 countries. Airport leaders say the service reflects growing demand, strong airline partnerships, and continued investment in infrastructure.

Moreover, the new flight is expected to deliver meaningful economic and tourism benefits for the city. Business leaders highlight unlimited access to major commerce hubs as a key factor in workforce recruitment and job creation, while tourism officials note New York’s role as a top pre-pandemic visitor market. The announcement follows record-breaking passenger numbers, new and returning nonstop flights, and construction of a $35 million parking garage scheduled to open in 2027. Together, these developments position Chattanooga Airport as a critical driver of economic momentum, global connectivity, and long-term regional success.
