Jonna McGrath, Vice President of United’s Denver hub, said: “United’s continued commitment to delivering an exceptional travel experience in Denver is underscored by these new routes and the nearly $1 billion in investments we have made to enhance the customer experience and bring greater convenience. As Denver’s hometown airline, we’re proud to offer more destinations than any other carrier, giving Colorado residents and travelers passing through Denver unmatched flexibility and options to explore the destinations they want to visit most.”

DEN CEO Phil Washington commented: “We could not be happier about today’s announcement by our partner United Airlines as they continue to invest in Denver with the addition of a variety of strategic destinations, including Rome, the top unserved international destination from DEN. This expansion strengthens Denver’s position as a global hub and provides our community with even greater connectivity to the world. It’s also a major focus of our Vision 100 pillar of Expanding our Global Connections as we grow to 100 million passengers and beyond.”
