United Express Expands Denver Operations, Becoming Largest Hub in the US

United Express, the regional subsidiary of United Airlines, is significantly expanding its operations at Denver International Airport, solidifying it as the largest United Express hub in the United States. The airline’s strategic move includes the introduction of flights from Denver to 110 year-round destinations, showcasing the city’s pivotal role in the airline’s network.

United Express operates flights connecting smaller and medium-sized markets that aren’t easily accessible by larger jets. This regional subsidiary utilizes a diverse fleet, including the Embraer E175, Bombardier CRJ700, and Mitsubishi CRJ550 aircraft.

Denver holds a key position in United Express’s network, facilitating connections for travelers from across the nation and the globe to sought-after destinations in the Rocky Mountains and the West Coast. Beyond its significance to the airline, the Denver hub plays a substantial role in supporting the local economy and community. It employs over 6,000 people and contributes more than $13 billion annually to the region.

Sarah Murphy, Senior Vice President of United Express, emphasized the commitment to customer service and industry sustainability. She stated, “We are proud to offer our customers more choice and flexibility when they fly with United Express from Denver.” Moreover, the airline plans to continue expanding its Denver operations in anticipation of increased demand in the post-pandemic era. The company is also dedicated to enhancing the passenger experience and environmental performance. Initiatives include offering free Wi-Fi, streaming entertainment, snacks on board, utilizing sustainable aviation fuel, and reducing emissions.

With this expansion, United Express is poised to play a vital role in connecting travelers to a wide range of destinations while contributing positively to Denver’s economic landscape.
