United Airlines is to add Minot, North Dakota, to its network with twice daily nonstop service to Denver beginning on June 9 with flights operated by its regional partner, SkyWest Airlines using 50-seat Bombardier CRJs Regional Jets, according to the Shephard Group. “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. Senator Dorgan was referring to news announced on February 11 that Delta Air Lines is to begin flights to Salt Lake City starting on May 3, also operated by SkyWest.
