More good news for Denver (from the Denver Business Journal):

United Airlines (Nasdaq: UAL) is aiming to add 50 more daily flights out of Denver International Airport by 2020. That will bring DIA’s top airline passenger carrier’s total daily flights to 550.

“Denver is United’s fastest growing hub,” Jonathan Guerin, a United spokesman, said in an email. “This summer we surpassed more than 500 daily departures, a record for United in Denver and in 2020 we expect to bring Denver up to 550 peak day departures — that’s almost 150 flights per day added over four years.”


He added that the flights will be a mix of domestic and international destinations. Guerin declined to reveal the locations of the new flights, though a United official announced at an event last week that it is adding a nonstop flight from Denver International Airport to Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas, next year.

While the overall passenger traffic at DIA increased by 5.1% in 2018, international traffic grew by 14%, DIA spokeswoman Mindy Crane previously told DBJ. Additionally, Kim Day, the CEO of DIA, previously told DBJ this spring that the airport is working on securing nonstop flights to Asia and Australia.

Also, expect a huge bid in December.
