LEXINGTON, Ky. — United Airlines will grow its presence in Lexington, Ky. by bringing larger aircraft offering greater connectivity for central and southeastern Kentucky travelers, Blue Grass Airport said.
This summer, United will increase the size of its aircraft on its popular daily flight between Lexington and Denver, upgrading to an Airbus A319 with 126 seats, adding 50+ more seats per day. The larger aircraft will provide more Kentuckians the opportunity to travel, whether to Denver or to connect to other destinations in the western United States, Canada and beyond. United will begin operating this larger aircraft in Lexington on May 21, 2026.
On that same day, United Airlines will increase the number of daily flights between Lexington and Chicago—offering up to seven daily flights this summer during peak travel periods. With greater access to United’s expansive route network to more than 200 destinations through the airline’s Chicago hub, it is even easier for travelers in the Bluegrass to access their favorite destinations in a way that works well with their schedule. Tickets to both Denver and Chicago are on sale now at United.com and in the United mobile app…
