Denver Air Connection has reinstated reliable, all-weather, daily jet service to Chicago from Muskegon County Airport, with an industry-leading 99.5% flight completion rate across their network. With interline agreements with American, United, and Delta Airlines, passengers can seamlessly search, book, and purchase Denver Air Connection flights on a single itinerary with United, American, or Delta Airlines and enjoy automatic baggage transfers. Flights arrive at a dedicated Denver Air Connection gate at Chicago O’Hare, ensuring a smooth and efficient travel experience.

 

“Whether you’re spending a day in Chicago, or connecting at O’Hare onward to your final destination, we’re so incredibly proud to have Denver Air Connection as a community partner to ensure travelers along the West Michigan Lakeshore have convenient access to affordable, rock-solid reliable air transportation right here in Muskegon,” says Muskegon County Airport Director Ken Efting.

A standout feature of Denver Air Connection is the outstanding customer service on the ground with complimentary refreshments and snacks offered to all passengers during the flight. Coupled with free parking at Muskegon County Airport and the benefits of a hassle-free onboarding process, there is no better time to start flying out of Muskegon again!

“The return of reliable service to Chicago from Muskegon is a critical amenity for the business community,” says Chamber President and CEO Rachel Gorman. “Members can take advantage of these daily flights to attend meetings in downtown Chicago without the complicated logistics of other travel options. Additionally, as Muskegon continues to grow as both a travel destination and a relocation spot for remote workers, this air service is fueling that growth.”

On Wednesday, November 13, the Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce led a group of business and community leaders to utilize the returned service firsthand for a fun day in Chicago. The journey was as smooth and efficient as promised! After a 9 a.m. takeoff, the group landed at O’Hare, easily connected to the Metra, and headed downtown. With over five hours to enjoy Chicago, everyone had ample time to explore renowned museums, take in cultural sites, view iconic public art, and visit some of the city’s most famous landmarks.

 

The return flight was equally impressive—departing Chicago and arriving back in Muskegon at 7:31 p.m., a full 19 minutes ahead of schedule. This day trip showcased the ease, speed, and reliability of Denver Air Connection, offering our community convenient access to Chicago and beyond. If you are planning a business meeting, a quick getaway, or a family adventure, choose Denver Air Connection – flying out of Muskegon has never been better!
