DENVER — Southwest Airlines is adding Montrose Regional Airport to its network this winter as airlines continue to add flights to leisure destinations.
Montrose Regional Airport is a 90-minute drive to Telluride, home to a popular ski resort in southwestern Colorado.
Service between Denver and Montrose will occur up to thrice daily, and flights between Dallas Love Field and Montrose will occur once a day on weekends, Southwest said. Service to Montrose begins Dec. 19.
Montrose Regional Airport will also be serviced by American Airlines and United Airlines this winter, according a schedule posted to the airport's website.
A month ago, Southwest added Miami and Palm Springs, California to its network. Previously, the airline announced it was also adding service to Steamboat Springs, Colorado this winter and told Denver Business Journal that it would be expanding to other Colorado mountain towns as well.
