United Express will begin service from Abilene Regional Airport to Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the fall.

“United’s new service is the culmination of ABI staff’s years of building relationships and telling Abilene’s story," City of Abilene Director of Transportation Services Don Green said. "We’re excited to offer our passengers another airline choice to meet the demand we know exists here."

Reservations can be made at United.com for travel beginning Oct. 21. Service will be provided by SkyWest Aviation.

“We are looking forward to the start of our new United Express flights in Abilene and know our passengers can fly with confidence thanks to the additional measures being taken on every flight,” Greg Atkin, SkyWest’s managing director of market development, said. “From enhanced cleaning, mandatory face coverings, and customer self-assessments with check-in, we remain committed to the health and safety of all onboard our aircraft.”
