For those travelling during the winter period between Newark International Airport and London Heathrow, United Airlines will be boosting capacity between the airports by adding an extra service between the two airports a day.

The new rotation will add a Boeing 767-300ER’s worth of capacity, adding UA942 (departing 21:00, arriving 09:25+1) and UA943 (departing 18:00, arriving 21:20). This will run from 18th December 2014 to the end of the Spring 2015 timetable.

Additional services are always welcome – as this service opens an extra evening shuttle back to London, whilst offering an evening shuttle between London and Newark, allowing for a day in the office before heading for a flight back to the New Jersey and New York areas.
Now what airport UA flies to looses a flight due to LHRs slots
It looks like this is a replacement of 752 flights UA17 and UA115, rather than an addition. It’s only 14 more seats, as they show a 3-class configuration on the 763. An infinite increase in First over the 752, however…
Now if only they would send all of their 744s and 772s over to EWR and cut frequency on everything until the runway mess is over!
