Denver International Airport and United Airlines Celebrate New Nonstop Service Between Denver and Frankfurt

Home

DENVER – May 2, 2019 – Today United Airlines launched daily, nonstop service between Denver and Frankfurt, Germany (FRA). The flights will operate year-round, expanding the connection between two of the most powerful airline hubs in the world.

Photos of the inaugural celebration are available here.

“Adding additional nonstop service to Frankfurt means expanded opportunities for jobs and our local economy,” said Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock. “Connecting Denver to the rest of the world deepens and diversifies our air service network, elevating our city’s position in the global economy.”

From Denver, United will conveniently connect more than 100 cities across North America to Frankfurt. From Frankfurt, United’s new service provides customers with easy one-stop access to more than 90 destinations, including key centers of business and tourism like Barcelona, Spain; Budapest, Hungary; Paris; Prague; Rome and Vienna.

“United has added two trans-Atlantic flights from Denver in the last two years, including our newest addition to Frankfurt, which demonstrates our commitment to growing and investing in Denver,” said Steve Jaquith, United’s vice president of the Denver hub. “We’re proud to provide even more ways we can connect Denver to the world.”

The daily flights will operate with a Boeing 787-8 aircraft with 219 seats. This is this the same aircraft United uses to operate service from Denver to Tokyo-Narita (NRT) and London-Heathrow (LHR). Flights will depart Denver at 3:40 p.m. and arrive Frankfurt at 9:20 a.m. the next day. Return flights from Frankfurt will depart at 11:05 a.m. and arrive in Denver at 1:20 p.m.

“We welcome United’s continued expansion at Denver International Airport,” said Denver International Airport CEO Kim Day. “These new flights to Frankfurt will not only provide a new option for Denver travelers to access the heart of Europe but will strengthen Denver’s position as a premier connecting hub in the global Star Alliance network.”

United joins its Star Alliance partner Lufthansa German Airlines in providing nonstop service between Denver and Frankfurt. Frankfurt ranks as Denver’s fourth -largest market in Europe, with nearly 150 people a day traveling between the two cities. With United’s new service, Denver will have 50 weekly nonstop flights to Europe in the summer of 2019, a 13 percent increase over the summer of 2018.

DEN is served by 23 airlines, including 11 foreign-flag carriers. These carriers provide service to 26 international destinations in 12 countries, and 188 domestic destinations in 47 states, for a total of 214 total nonstop destinations.
