Pueblo Memorial Airport offering new early-bird flight to Denver International Airport

PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Pueblo Memorial Airport (PUB) and Denver Air Connection (DAC) announced a new schedule for flights to Denver International Airport (DEN).

According to officials, one of the highlights of the new schedule is an early-bird flight that leaves at 6 a.m. Officials say the flight is meant for those who have to make it to early morning meetings, or other connecting flights.

The return flight for the new schedule leaves at 9 p.m. from Denver back to Pueblo. The city says the change in schedule came after limited options for reliable air travel from Pueblo to other locations. They say the changes will help make PUB a more practical location for travelers.

PUB has over 100 destinations using DAC partnerships with United, American and Delta airlines, according to officials. More information on travel options is available on DAC's website.

The new flights start on November 1.
