Gillette gets more flights to Denver

Airline passengers in northeast Wyoming will have more flight options between Denver and Gillette-Campbell County Airport.

SkyWest Airlines says it will add one evening flight from Gillette to Denver and an afternoon flight back, starting March 12.

The announcement is good news for the airport, which took a blow when Great Lakes Airlines dropped half of its flights between Gillette in Denver earlier this fall. Even with the extra daily SkyWest flights, the airport will still have 180 seats fewer weekly than it had before the Great Lakes cuts.
