United Airlines today announced plans to expand service from Denver -- one of its key U.S. domestic hubs -- and that it will apply the efficiency-savings generated by United's resource optimization program to add 32 more flights from the hub by June 2006. With this increase, United will provide 455 daily departures from Denver. This is a more than seven percent increase over United's current Denver schedule and a four percent increase over last June.
In addition to its previously announced new service to Toronto, United and United Express® will increase frequencies to cities already served from Denver, including Boston, Baltimore, New York-La Guardia, Los Angeles, San Francisco and St. Louis, and many more. In addition, Ted(SM) -- United's low- fare service -- will add one frequency each to Las Vegas; Reno, Nev.; and Ontario, Calif.
The service increase is made possible by United's current efforts to more efficiently use assets -- including gates and aircraft -- which, when fully implemented, will deliver the equivalent of at least 10 additional aircraft with existing resources. United is targeting turn times, among other things, to do so, and aims to reduce its average turns by eight minutes to free up aircraft for more flying in 2006. Turn-time reduction is now underway.
