(Reuters) – United Airlines <UAL.O> plans to resume service on more than 25 international routes in September, the U.S. carrier said on Friday, as many countries ease travel restrictions imposed to control the COVID-19 pandemic.

The airline said it will add flights to destinations including Asia, India, Australia, Israel and Latin America in September, while flying 37% of its overall schedule compared with a year earlier.

The company’s flight schedule represents a 4% rise in capacity compared to August, United said.
