United Airlines will commence non-stop daily service between the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) and the airline’s New York hub at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) effective February 12 through May 5, 2015. In addition to providing easy access to the New York metropolitan area, United’s Newark hub offers one-stop connections to other cities in United’s global route network, as well as connections to additional cities in the Star Alliance network. United already serves SRQ with year-round daily non-stop flights to the carrier’s Chicago O’Hare (ORD) hub. Fredrick J. Piccolo, President, Chief Executive Officer at SRQ stated, “We are thrilled that United has decided to return Newark/New York service to our community. This commitment demonstrates that the Sarasota/Bradenton area is a strong market for our airline partners. The flights to the Newark Liberty hub will provide opportunities for connections to additional destinations, both domestically and internationally, and we look forward to exploring other opportunities for expansion in the future.”
