United Airlines to launch Chicago-Rhinelander flights in May 2025
United Airlines will resume flights between Chicago and Rhinelander, Wisconsin, starting May 22, 2025. The service, operated by SkyWest Airlines using Bombardier CRJ200 jets, will initially offer one daily roundtrip, increasing to two daily flights by late June. This route was previously suspended in 2021 due to operational challenges, including a pilot shortage. The seasonal service will run until September 28, with a total of 35 flights in June and 62 flights in July and August. Rhinelander's airport director noted the importance of this service for local growth and connectivity. The flights will be part of United's Mileage Plus loyalty program, enhancing travel options for the community.
