United will resume flights to Nicaragua after almost 3 years with its service between Houston (IAH) and Managua (MGA) starting January 4, 2023. The company’s last operation on this route was on March 31, 2020, on a Boeing 737-700.

The Chicago-based carrier is the third U.S. airline to return to U.S.-Nicaragua operations after American Airlines and Spirit, which begin nonstop service to Managua (MGA) on November 30 and December 1 from Miami (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL) respectively.

The Nicaraguan capital will be United’s tenth Central American destination served from Houston (IAH), the company already offers nonstop service to Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama and Belize.
