Southwest airlines restores service to Denver, Amsterdam still on wait

The air service from Bradley International Airport to Denver earlier run by Frontier Airlines had been canceled last year due to high fuel costs. Now, Southwest airlines will restore daily nonstop service to this route.

The service will include one flight a day, departing at 8:10 a.m. on all days except Saturday, when it will leave at 9:05. Even Delta recently announced it will resume seasonal service to Cancun with a weekly nonstop flight starting Nov. 1. Delta said it stopped its Los Angeles flight due to high fuel costs.

Since mid-2008, Bradley International Airport witnessed the cancellation of both of its marquee non-stop, long-distance routes, to Amsterdam and Los Angeles. Earlier, Northwest offered a daily nonstop flight to the Netherlands from July 2007 to October 2008.

In December 2008, Northwest said it would resume the Amsterdam flight, an event Bradley officials heralded as “a miracle,” but the airline’s new owner, Delta, decided against it in March. Delta canceled the service before restarting it, citing “the challenging economic climate and poor advance reservations.”
