“This is the first time we’ve offered a Colorado-exclusive opportunity to win tickets, and this is truly a thank you to our community,” said BJ Youngerman, United’s managing director of market strategy development. “We’ve called Denver home since 1937, and our more than one million MileagePlus members in Colorado know that we proudly connect Coloradans to more places in the world than any other carrier.”
Denver is home to one of United’s fastest growing hubs, where the airline has invested in its people, its customers and the community to be the best hometown airline in the Mile High City. The airline provides service to more than 170 destinations, including nine countries, from Denver. United is the only U.S. airline to offer transatlantic service from Denver with daily and year-round nonstop service to London, Frankfurt and Munich.
Since 2013, United has operated with a better on-time performance than Southwest in Denver. The airline also flies to more than 70 destinations that are not served by Southwest and/or Frontier. United offers the most nonstop flights to the most destinations from Denver, including nonstop service to 45 states.
In the past few years alone, United has invested nearly 1 billion dollars into improving the customer experience for its customers in Denver. This includes an on-going concourse expansion that will add 20 new gates for the airline and will bring them to an airport-leading 90 gates by early 2023. United also opened a new check-in lobby at the end of 2021 and has introduced user-friendly new technology at gates to improve the customer experience.
United is also currently expanding its Flight Training Center in Denver, already the largest facility of its kind in the world. United’s training campus is the sole training facility for the airline’s 14,000 active pilots and all newly hired pilots. Every nine months pilots must visit the training center to remain up-to-date on certifications. At any one time, there may be up to 600 pilots training at the facility. More than 1,000 United employees are employed at the training center.
United is a force for good and an industry leader. At the heart of every decision the airline makes is doing the right thing. United is the largest private employer in the city of Denver, with more than 8,000 Denver-based employees and growing. United employees are incredibly involved in the community year-round.
