United Announces New Service From Denver to London

July 26, 2017

In celebration of United's 80 years of service in Denver, the airline on July 26, announced the launch of daily nonstop seasonal service between Denver International Airport (DEN) and London's Heathrow Airport (LHR) beginning March 24, through Oct. 26, subject to government approval. The new Denver flight will conveniently connect customers from nearly 80 domestic destinations to London.

"For the last 80 years, United has played an integral role in serving the Denver region and helping Denver International become an essential hub connecting business and leisure travelers to destinations around the globe," said Steve Jaquith, vice president of its Denver hub. "Our new service to London will provide more customers with convenient one-stop opportunities from markets that are served only through Denver, and we're excited to bring this new service to the Mile High City."

Jaquith was previously the managing director of the company's Denver hub, and was recently promoted to vice president.

"We are so appreciative of our partnership with United Airlines and beyond excited that they continue to grow in Denver with this new service to London Heathrow beginning next March," said DEN CEO Kim Day. "These new flights will complement United's successful nonstop service to Tokyo Narita, making United the only carrier to provide both transatlantic and transpacific flights from Denver."
