PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands (June 26, 2026) — The Turks and Caicos Islands has announced new weekly Saturday service on United Airlines between Denver International Airport (DEN) and Howard Hamilton International Airport (PLS) in Providenciales, beginning in December 2026.
The new nonstop route, which launches Dec. 19, will operate on a Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft with 179 seats, including 20 in business class and 159 in economy.
“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 Premier Charles Washington Misick.
The announcement comes on the heels of the Turks and Caicos Islands’ recent roadshow in Denver, where the delegation, led by Premier Misick, was welcomed by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who proclaimed May 20, 2026, as Turks and Caicos Islands Friendship Day in Colorado in recognition of the growing ties between the destination and the state.
Tourism officials believe the new route aligns well with Denver-area travelers’ passion for outdoor recreation and adventure travel, while offering convenient access to one of the Caribbean’s premier scuba diving destinations.
Minister of Tourism Zhavargo Jolly said, “For many years, our strongest air connections have been concentrated along the East Coast and in the Midwest of the United States. Today, we continue our strategic expansion westward, creating direct access to one of North America’s most dynamic and affluent regions.”
He added: “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.”
“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,” said Tom Kozlowski, Senior Manager of Latin, Caribbean, & Hawaii Network Planning at United Airlines. “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.”
