SkyWest to fly Denver?Minot service for United
United Airlines is to add Minot, North Dakota, to its global network with twice daily nonstop service to Denver beginning on 9 June with flights operated by SkyWest Airlines using 50-seat Bombardier CRJs.
The first rotation of the day departs Minot at 08:45, arriving in Denver at 09:21. The return from Denver leaves the United hub at 12:25 and lands in Minot at 15:07. The second rotation then leaves Minot at 15:50 and reaches Denver at 16:26, before setting off on the return at 19:17 and landing in Minot at 21:59.
On 9 June the service will begin with the lunchtime flight out of Denver, meaning the first early morning service out of Minot will take place on 10 June.
“We are delighted to provide travellers in Minot with new, convenient nonstop service to Denver and access to our extensive network throughout the world,” remarked Greg Kaldahl, United’s vice-president of resource planning.
“Minot has had a run of good news when it comes to expanding flights, and the reason is western North Dakota is an economic powerhouse that needs access to frequent and affordable flights that go both east and west,” commented US Senator Byron Dorgan (Democrat, ND), who is chairman of the Aviation Operations, Safety and Security Subcommittee in the Senate. The Senator was referring to news announced on 11 February that Delta Air Lines is to begin flights to Salt Lake City, also operated by SkyWest, from 3 May.
