Key Takeaways:

United is set to exit an Idaho airport early next year. The Chicago-based airline has served the airport since 2021.

In February, the carrier will no longer serve Lewiston, Idaho. The town is roughly 270 miles north of Boise.

A United spokesperson told the Lewiston Tribune that the airline’s last Lewiston-to-Denver flight will end on Feb. 1. This route previously operated on a daily basis with a SkyWest Embraer E175.

“United will continue to serve Idaho with service to Boise, Idaho Falls and Sun Valley,” the spokesperson said. “We’re working with impacted customers to help them make alternative travel arrangements.”

United stopped short of providing a reason for the market exit.

Delta continues to serve Lewiston with daily E175 flights to both Seattle and Salt Lake City.
