The new airline service will give United Airlines a sixth nonstop route to the German financial center, which also is the busiest hub for United’s Star Alliance partner Lufthansa. United already flies to Frankfurt from its hubs at Chicago O’Hare, Houston Bush Intercontinental, Newark Liberty, San Francisco and Washington Dulles.
United Airlines will be the only U.S. airline flying nonstop on the route, though Lufthansa also flies nonstop between Denver and Frankfurt. United says Frankfurt customers will be able to catch connecting United flights to or from more than 60 cities across the western United States, including Las Vegas, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Seattle.
Patrick Quayle, United’s vice president of International Network said that from the mid-continent United States to the rest of the world, United offers customers more choice and more international flights and destinations than any other carrier. United’s Denver-Frankfurt service restores a route the airline last offered in the summer of 2001.
