Before the economic recession hit the world, shattering a million dreams, Erie enjoyed a well-connected air network with several cities within the United States. Four primary airlines operated service to and from the city to destinations like Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Atlanta. The scenario however, changed completely after the global economy was left crippled by the economic slowdown. Eight years after the devastating situation, Erie has something to cheer about in the coming times.

United Airlines has announced the launch of its nonstop service between its hub in Chicago and Erie. The new flights are set to debut on June 5 this year. This news has spread a wave of joy amongst the travelers who have waited patiently all these years to relish smooth connections from their city to other important destinations across the country.

Travelers will soon be able to fly between Erie International Airport and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. This service will considerably offer smooth connections and reduce the travel time otherwise taken to fly between the city pair.

Direct connections from here to Chicago will also boost the prospects of local business in the city. Nonstop flights are an added advantage when it comes to commercial and financial aspects. The city of Erie is sure to benefit from this service and the people cannot stop thanking the airline enough for its initiative.

Chicago is a popular world city and offers flights to other gateways across the country and the world. Apart from other airlines, United Airlines alone provides 600 daily flights from the city to various parts of the world thus paving way for smoother connections ahead.
