Southwest Airlines says it will be starting new daily nonstop flights between Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport and Denver, the Associated Press reports.
The service was announced last fall at the airport in Windsor Locks and kicks off Sunday morning. One flight will leave for Denver each morning, and another will return each night.
Bradley lost its only daily nonstop service to Denver International Airport in 2007 when Frontier Airlines went bankrupt. United Airlines used to fly nonstop from Connecticut to Denver, but discontinued that route in 2001.
Bradley, about 15 miles north of Hartford, is the second-largest airport in New England after Boston’s Logan International Airport. It draws most of its passengers from Connecticut and western Massachusetts. (AP)
