United Airlines is constructing Concourse E at Washington Dulles International Airport, costing over half a billion dollars and set to open in late 2026, featuring 14 dedicated gates and a large United Club lounge.
The concourse will provide easy access to the airport’s Aerotrain station, part of a multi-phase project for United’s growth at Dulles, with a new Inflight Training Centre opening next year.
United plans to increase daily departures from Dulles to nearly 280 by April 2025 and has announced a significant international expansion for summer 2025, including new routes to Nice, Venice, and Dakar.
United has invested more than $32bn across its business since 2021, with similar investments at airport facilities in Denver, Houston, and Newark, reflecting its commitment to growth and world-class service.
Washington Airports Authority president and CEO Jack Potter, shared: “Washington Dulles International is a key economic engine for the National Capital Region, and United Airlines is our essential partner in the rapid and ongoing growth of the airport. “United’s commitment to Dulles – through its support of the new concourse, its long-term expansion plans, including new flights and destinations, investment in new training and technical facilities and the addition of thousands of local jobs – is a testament to the strength of our partnership in promoting regional economic growth and pursuing our mutual goal of providing world-class service to the traveling public.”
