Denver International Airport Welcomes Allegiant Air to
the Mile High City
DENVER – June 28, 2016 – Allegiant Air announced today that it will begin service from Denver International
Airport (DEN) to Montrose, Colo. later this year.
“The addition of Allegiant to Denver International Airport’s growing list of airlines will provide passengers with
another ultra-low-cost carrier choice,” airport CEO Kim Day said. “Regional flights are critical links for
communities like Montrose, so we are excited to see another option to get to Colorado’s great Western Slope
cities.”
The new flight will operate seasonally, from Dec. 17 to March 25. Allegiant will offer the flight twice per week,
on Wednesdays and Saturdays, using an Airbus A319 with 156 seats. The flights are currently scheduled to
arrive at DEN at 11:34 a.m. and depart at 12:14 p.m.

popular ski destinations.”
