NEW YORK-<\/strong> United Airlines (UA)<\/a> has confirmed the first nonstop transatlantic service between Split and New York, opening a direct air bridge between Croatia and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seasonal route will run from spring through early September, marking a major step for long-haul travel from the Dalmatian coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new service will operate three times weekly and reduce total travel time to around 10 hours. This removes the need for European stopovers that often extend journeys to nearly a full day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United Airlines New York to Split Flight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This route represents the first scheduled long-haul wide-body operation from Split to an overseas destination. United Airlines will deploy a Boeing 767-300ER<\/a>, making it the first aircraft of its category to serve regular transatlantic flights from the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch strengthens Split\u2019s role as a strategic international gateway, moving beyond its traditional seasonal European focus. It also reflects growing demand for direct US access to southern Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flights will operate three times per week during the seasonal window. The nonstop service cuts total journey time by more than half when compared with indirect itineraries via major European hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Boeing 767-300ER offers a balanced capacity for long-haul leisure and business traffic, aligning with Split\u2019s strong summer demand profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passengers can choose from four cabin options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
