DALLAS, TX – AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of Southwest Airlines, announced today that the carrier is officially launching brand new international service between Denver International Airport and Cancun International Airport.

Today’s departure marks AirTran’s first international destination and flight from Denver International Airport.

Service Between Denver and Cancun:

Daily roundtrip service operates today through July 7, 2012

Saturday and Sunday service starts Aug. 13, 2012, through the end of the schedule (currently Nov. 2, 2012)

“This new service is important as it marks AirTran’s first international flight from the Mile High city,” said Bob Jordan, Southwest Airlines Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer and AirTran Airways President. “As we continue our integration of AirTran into Southwest, our Customers will realize the benefits of our combined network, which is robust from Denver.”
