Celebrating Service to Dulles International

John Wayne Airport is excited to welcome another popular destination to our growing list of nonstop routes. On Wednesday, August 12, United Airlines launched its inaugural service to Dulles International Airport, marking a new coast‑to‑coast connection for Orange County travelers.

To celebrate the occasion, United hosted a small gate-side event ahead of the departure of UA Flight 2230. Passengers traveling on the inaugural flight were greeted by United representatives and invited to enjoy light refreshments and snacks as part of the festivities. The celebration offered a warm and friendly sendoff, highlighting United’s commitment to enhancing the travel experience and expanding convenient options for business and leisure passengers alike.

The new route underscores John Wayne Airport’s service offerings and provides travelers with an efficient gateway to the Washington, D.C. region. As the inaugural flight departs, JWA looks forward to strengthening partnerships with airline carriers and continuing to deliver exceptional service to the community.
