Two of America’s biggest airlines are putting one of the country’s tiniest airports back on the map. And it’s an airport that’s a stone’s throw from one of the country’s most spectacular national parks<\/a><\/span>, right in the heart of Utah’s red rock country.<\/p>\n

Later this year, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines will return to Moab, Utah, via Canyonlands Field Airport (CNY).<\/p>\n

Flights begin in October.<\/p>\n

For residents of the eastern Utah city, it’ll mark the first time in close to three years that they’ve had service on a major network airline.<\/p>\n

That should be a big help for travelers in the region. By connecting to major Delta and United hubs, they’ll be able to make much easier connections to the two airlines’ many destinations across the U.S. and beyond.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, flyers in other parts of the country might consider Moab as a new, one-stop gateway destination to visit two nearby national parks.<\/p>\n

Canyonlands Field is situated just minutes from Arches National Park, and about a half-hour drive from Canyonlands National Park.<\/p>\n

Delta and United’s new Canyonlands service<\/h2>\n

Both Delta and United will launch service from Moab on Oct. 6, with flights on each carrier operated by their regional partner, SkyWest Airlines.<\/p>\n

United will operate daily service to its Denver International Airport (DEN) hub.<\/p>\n

Delta, meanwhile, will link Moab to its Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) hub, which is about a four-hour drive from CNY.<\/p>\n

Because the two carriers have huge domestic networks from their DEN and SLC hubs, you’ll be able to reach Moab in one stop from a long list of U.S. cities.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re flying Delta to Salt Lake or United to Denver, expect a small plane:<\/p>\n
