Flagstaff’s New Air Routes
Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (FLG) is set to see an increase in air traffic with the arrival of two new airlines. United Airlines and Delta Air Lines are both planning to launch nonstop flights to FLG in 2027. The new routes are part of a broader effort to increase connectivity and accessibility to the region.
United and Delta Expand to FLG
United Airlines will begin twice-daily flights from Denver International Airport (DEN) to FLG on August 10, 2027. This follows Delta Air Lines’ announcement of its own service, which will start on June 7, 2027, from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC). Both airlines will use the Bombardier CRJ-550 aircraft, which includes 10 first-class seats and 40 economy seats.
FLG’s Strategic Location
Flagstaff is located about two hours north of Phoenix and is near major attractions like Grand Canyon National Park and Sedona. The city is also home to Northern Arizona University, making it a hub for both tourism and education. The new flights are expected to boost regional travel and tourism.
American Airlines Dominates FLG
American Airlines has long been the primary carrier at FLG, offering service from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). The new routes from United and Delta are expected to introduce more competition and options for travelers.
FLG Receives Federal Support
FLG recently received an $800,000 federal grant to encourage airlines to add new flights to either Denver (DEN) or Salt Lake City (SLC). This funding is part of a broader effort to improve air service and connectivity to the region. The grant highlights the growing interest in expanding access to Flagstaff and its surrounding attractions.
