“We appreciate United Airlines adding these flights from Minot to Denver," said N.D. Gov. John Hoeven said. “Service to western destinations in the United States is important to individual travelers, but it is also important as we continue to build our energy industry and other businesses in North Dakota.”

“Minot has had a run of good news when it comes to expanding flights, and the reason is western North Dakota is an economic powerhouse that needs access to frequent and affordable flights that go both east and west,” said U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), who is chairman of the Aviation Operations, Safety and Security Subcommittee in the Senate. “I applaud United for adding two new daily flights between Minot and Denver.”

“This new service between Minot and Denver will be another valuable option for Minot travelers,” said U.S. Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D-N.D.) “Minot is a growing and thriving community, especially with our state’s growing energy industry. I’m confident that these new flights will be a boost to the Minot community and to United Airlines.”
