United to fly daily year round to Denver
DENVER, Oct. 8, 2018 – United Airlines, Denver’s largest carrier, today announced it is enhancing its schedule at Denver International Airport to offer customers more flights, better flight times and more connections beginning in February 2019.
The enhanced schedule will include daily nonstop service year round between Charleston and Denver.
“United Airlines announcement to serve Charleston International Airport nonstop to Denver will be a great and welcome addition for business travelers,” said Paul G. Campbell Jr., executive director and CEO of the Charleston County Aviation Authority. “The new route to Denver will also offer a myriad of connecting opportunities beyond Denver, many of which will be the best option from day one of the new service.”
United officials said the new service will also enable more customers to easily and conveniently connect to United’s newest destinations. The updated schedule also increases the number of morning flights available to business customers traveling from Denver to the East and West Coasts while improving connectivity to Midwest and Mountain Region destinations.
“United’s optimized schedule allows us to offer our Denver-area customers more flights and greater access to more destinations than ever before,” said Ankit Gupta, United’s vice president of Domestic Network Panning.
The schedule enhancements at Denver enable United to increase the number of departures; offer more connections and reduce the amount of time customers spend waiting at the airport. Customers arriving on flights from smaller markets to connect at Denver will have more connection opportunities to get to destinations east and west of Denver. For example, a customer traveling between Billings, Montana and San Diego, California or between Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Detroit now has more connection opportunities to more destinations east and west of Denver.
In addition to daily nonstop year round service between Denver and Charleston, United announced the same for Eureka, California and seasonal summer service between Denver and Fairbanks, Alaska beginning next year. In 2018, United has added more than 50 daily flights and started service to 12 new destinations from Denver including Flagstaff, Arizona; Sonoma County, California; and Monterrey, California.
