Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport is expanding its arsenal of direct, daily flights this summer.

On June 7, daily flights from GSP to Denver International Airport will take off for the first time starting at 6 a.m. With the time change, Greenville passengers will arrive in Denver at 7:31 a.m.

The announcement comes two months after GSP started daily flights to Miami.

The new nonstop flight will bring its first daily load of up to 76 passengers from Denver to Greenville on June 6, arriving here at 10:38 p.m., according to a statement from GSP spokesman Dudley Brown. Flights from Greenville to Denver on the same plane begin the next day.

United Airlines will operate the flight, its fifth nonstop destination from GSP to other cities.

GSP’s president and CEO, Dave Edwards, said in a statement that he was pleased to see the airport’s relationship with United expand.

“Denver is one of the top 10 cities that GSP passengers visit the most,” he said in the statement. “This new service will make it more convenient for passengers to visit Denver or connect to other West Coast destinations.”

First-class and coach seats will be available.

Steve Jaquith, United’s vice president of the Denver hub, said his airline will be able to connect GSP customers to hundreds of domestic and international destinations in United’s network.

United currently offers daily nonstop service from GSP to Chicago (ORD), Houston (IAH), Newark, N.J. (EWR), and Washington, D.C. (IAD).
