Passengers will be able to connect to destinations in Australia beyond Brisbane as part of UA’s partnership with Virgin Australia. “With United’s strong history in Australia – and now with a great partner in Virgin Australia – it is the ideal time for United to expand service to Brisbane as demand for travel continues to grow,” UA senior vice president international network and alliances, Patrick Quayle, said. “Throughout the pandemic, we have looked for strategic ways to grow our international network. We are proud to be the first U.S. airline to put a new dot on our route map across the Pacific.” UA flies nonstop to Sydney from Los Angeles and San Francisco and also operates Melbourne-San Francisco. It plans to add Melbourne-Los Angeles and Sydney-Houston to its network later this year. The Brisbane-San Francisco service is being launched with the support of the Queensland government's attracting aviation investment fund.
