Key Takeaways:

United is planning more international service from its Denver hub. The airline will add one new route and resume another.

Starting on Oct. 26, the airline will begin flights from Denver to Mexico City and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

An airline spokesperson said Mexico City flights will operate daily as winter seasonal service through March, while service to Punta Cana will operate daily nearly year-round. Both routes will be operated by a Boeing 737 MAX 8.

United last linked Denver and Mexico City in 2018, per Cirium Diio schedule data. Service to Punta Cana is new to the airline’s network.

The airline says it has added eight new routes to Latin America and the Caribbean since 2019.
