As air travel continues to slowly pick up amid the ongoing pandemic, many airlines are completely reimagining their route networks. For United Airlines, that means announcing seven new long-haul routes, including three new destinations in Africa. United says it's adding international flights where there's existing demand, especially tapping into traffic from travelers from the African diaspora visiting their friends and families.

"We're really focused on rethinking the network," says Patrick Quayle, United Airlines' vice president of international network and alliances. "We're not just looking at adding everything back the way it was prior to the coronavirus, and so what we're looking at trying to do is come up with more convenient travel."
