The Turks and Caicos Islands is celebrating another major airlift milestone with the announcement that United Airlines will launch new nonstop service between Denver International Airport (DEN) and Howard Hamilton International Airport in Providenciales (PLS) beginning December 2026.
The new weekly service marks a significant expansion of United Airlines’ established presence in the Turks and Caicos Islands and is the result of extensive negotiations with the Turks and Caicos Islands Airports Authority (TCIAA).
This announcement comes on the heels of the Turks and Caicos Islands’ successful roadshow in Denver recently led by the Premier, Hon. Charles Washington Misick.
Minister of Tourism, Hon. Zhavargo Jolly, welcomed the announcement as a strong endorsement of the destination’s growing appeal and the Ministry’s continued efforts to diversify source markets and expand airlift.
The minister in a statement said that for many years, our strongest air connections have been concentrated along the East Coast and in the Midwest of the United States, but today we continue our strategic expansion westward, creating direct access to one of North America’s most dynamic and affluent regions.
Minister of Physical Planning and Infrastructure Development, with responsibility for Aviation, Hon. Arlington Musgrove, described the announcement as another important step in strengthening the destination’s connectivity and competitiveness. Stating that, expanding air access is critical to sustaining tourism growth, and we are pleased that United Airlines continues to recognise the immense opportunity that exists here in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
The new route will be operated by a Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft featuring 179 seats, including 20 in business class and 159 in economy.
Tentative flight schedule is set for December 19th. Weekly on Saturdays.
Schedule is subject to change.
