United is DCs largest Airline and It Will Cost A Billion Dollars

New flights to Las Vegas from San Jose, Boston, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale on United Airlines.

United Airlines and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) issued a joint press release announcing progress in the development of a billion-dollar Concourse E that will transform the customer experience at Washington Dulles International Airport over the coming years.

The 435,000-square-foot, 14-gate concourse will include an expansive new United ClubSM location and state-of-the-art customer amenities expected to debut in late 2026.

The new Concourse E is made possible in part due to collaboration between United and MWAA and local and federal funding, such as grants from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for airport improvement projects that will help facilitate Dulles’ expansion.

United is the D.C. region’s largest airline, with more than 8,000 local employees and more flights and destinations than any other carrier.
