COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A major nonstop route is coming to John Glenn Columbus International Airport this spring.
Columbus Regional Airport Authority announced United Airlines’ move to add a daily flight to Los Angeles International Airport in a news release. Betsy Taylor, manager of passenger airline business development at Columbus Regional Airport Authority, called the upcoming trip schedule a “significant win” for travelers.
“As our largest underserved destination, additional service to Los Angeles was a top priority as business ties between the two areas continue to grow,” Taylor said. “We appreciate United Airlines recognizing this demand and connecting us directly to the West Coast destinations we care about.”
The new nonstop CMH to LAX route begins on March 29 at 7:25 a.m. The return flight will depart Los Angeles at 11 a.m.
The airport said this service will connect Columbus with all of United Airlines’ hubs, supporting international trips for passengers.
In November, United Airlines also announced it would begin two daily flights to San Francisco from Columbus on a seasonal basis starting in May.
