When you fly out of Washington Dulles International Airport next year, you’ll notice some big changes courtesy of United Airlines. A new Concourse E is expected to open in late 2026, offering 435,000 square feet, 14 gates for United Airlines’ exclusive use, a new United Club and more.
“Washington Dulles has emerged as a global gateway and these new investments will help deliver the world-class facility that our employees and customers deserve,” commented Scott Kirby, CEO, United Airlines.
The 14 new gates will be able to accommodate United Airlines’ new widebody planes. Additionally, the planned United Club will be one of the largest ever, at 40,000 square feet. However, Concourse E is just one part of United Airlines’ planned future investment in the airport.
“Washington Dulles International is a key economic engine for the National Capital Region, and United Airlines is our essential partner in the rapid and ongoing growth of the airport,” said Jack Potter, president and CEO, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. “United’s commitment to Dulles — through its support of the new concourse, its long-term expansion plans, including new flights and destinations, investment in new training and technical facilities and the addition of thousands of local jobs — is a testament to the strength of our partnership in promoting regional economic growth and pursuing our mutual goal of providing world-class service to the traveling public.”
