United to Resume Nonstop Flights Between Houston and Caracas

United will resume nonstop daily flights between its hub at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston and Simón Bolívar International Airport in Caracas starting August 11, 2026.

United will operate a Boeing 737 MAX 8 on this route. Onboard, customers will enjoy seatback screens at every seat with Bluetooth connectivity and the latest entertainment offerings from leading streaming services like Apple TV, HBO Max, Spotify and Peacock, room for everyone's roll aboard bag, and soon Starlink Wi-Fi.

This flight reopens a key economic gateway, creates new business opportunities and makes it easier for families to reconnect with loved ones. The airline offered flights between the U.S. and Venezuela for more than 20 years before it suspended service in June of 2017.

United now offers up to 100 flights per day to more than 50 destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean from Houston, and travelers can connect from Houston to more than 180 destinations around the world.

Later this year, United will open the most modern airport terminal in the country in Houston: a $2 billion Terminal B transformation, delivering 22 new mainline gates and the largest United ClubSM in the system.
