Direct United Express Flight to Denver Arriving May 21
FORT DODGE, IA (February 13, 2026) – Travelers at Fort Dodge Regional Airport (FOD) will soon have access to two major airline hubs: Chicago and Denver. The new United Express flights to Denver, operated by SkyWest Airlines, are set to begin on May 21, 2026.
“We are excited for the additional access these flights to Denver will provide and are beyond grateful that SkyWest is adding it into our flight schedule,” said Sarah Rustvold, director of the Fort Dodge Regional Airport. “I also appreciate all those in the community – individuals and businesses – who have voiced their support for bringing a flight to Denver back to Fort Dodge as an option.”
With this schedule change, Fort Dodge travelers will have five weekly round-trip United Express flights to Denver onboard a morning arrival and evening departure. There will continue to be daily, round-trip flights to Chicago.
Under requirements for the Essential Air Service program, this change is in the process of being reviewed by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
