United Airlines will launch new nonstop service between Denver International Airport and Howard Hamilton International Airport in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, beginning on December 19, 2026.

The new weekly service marks a significant expansion of United Airlines’ presence in the Turks and Caicos and is the result of extensive negotiations with the Turks and Caicos Islands Airports Authority.

The new route will open up new opportunities for the Turks & Caicos, said Charles Washington Misick, the country’s premier. “This new direct service between Denver and Providenciales is tremendously exciting for the Turks and Caicos Islands. Denver is one of America's great aviation gateways, opening convenient access to Colorado, California, and the entire western United States,” said Misick. “Having already established strong links to the eastern and midwestern markets, we are delighted to now extend our reach to the west. We are confident this route will unlock significant opportunities for tourism, business, and investment and further strengthen our ties with the United States,” he said.

Tourism minister Zhavargo Jolly called the announcement a strong endorsement of the Turks and Caicos’ growing appeal as the Ministry continues efforts to diversify source markets and expand airlift.

“This new service between Denver and Providenciales represents another important step in expanding the global reach of the Turks and Caicos Islands. For many years, our strongest air connections have been concentrated along the East Coast and in the Midwest of the United States,” said Jolly.

“Today, we continue our strategic expansion westward, creating direct access to one of North America’s most dynamic and affluent regions. This route strengthens our ability to attract visitors whose interests align naturally with the Turks and Caicos Islands’ tourism product—from luxury travel and wellness experiences to diving, outdoor adventure, and second-home ownership,” he said.

“We’re excited to give our customers yet another non-stop option between the Caribbean and Denver,” said Tom Kozlowski, senior manager of Latin, Caribbean, & Hawaii Network Planning for United Airlines. “United is the largest carrier in Denver, and this new addition will be the westernmost service from Turks and Caicos to the US, opening new tourism opportunities. We know our customers in Denver and surrounds will enjoy easier access to beautiful beaches, unique island charm, and vibrant culture in one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after destinations.”

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.
