Canyonlands Regional Airport will resume daily non-stop flights between Moab and Denver International Airport starting April 1, according to a press release issued by the airport.
The service, operated by Contour Airlines in partnership with United Airlines, restores an important connection that was lost when Contour replaced SkyWest Airlines as the airport’s air service provider last February.
The new Denver connection is partnered with United Airlines, allowing passengers to book a single ticket for travel between Moab, Denver and any of United’s connecting destinations. Contour will also continue operating daily flights to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
“We are excited to now offer non-stop service from Moab to both Denver and Phoenix,” said Contour Airlines President Ben Munson in the press release. “In addition to convenient access to these cities, with easy connections to partner airlines Alaska, American, and United, visitors and residents of Moab can better connect across the country and around the world.”
The airport highlighted the importance of the Denver route for the community, including its role in supporting business and leisure travel, as well as facilitating more efficient commuting for medical professionals to provide care.
“I would like to express my gratitude to the management of Contour Airlines for their dedicated efforts in collaborating with United Airlines to bring this opportunity to Moab,” said Tammy Howland, airport director, in the press release. “Their commitment to enhancing travel options for the community is greatly appreciated.”
Details on flight schedules and ticket prices will be announced at a later date, according to the release.
