IAD

Washington IAD

Just posted on another forum that IAD is the "new" United's 6th largest hub with just under 300 flights a day but nearly two thirds of those are on circa 70 seat aircraft.

This is less than half the number of flights per day compared to their Houston (IAH) and ORD hubs and even San Francisco has more but a good comparison is Newark with around 425-450 flights a day.

I must admit I though Washington was a lot busier with UA flights and that both DUB and MAN on the 757 seemed an ideal progression although Chicago I believe was originally rumoured at Manchester before IAD was announced.
