When launched, the United's nonstop service between New York/Newark and Cape Town will be the only non-stop service between the United States of America and Cape Town.

The new service will be operated with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner featuring 48 seats in United Polaris business class, 88 seats in United Economy Plus and 116 seats in United Economy.
