Palm Springs International Airport announced Friday that United Airlines will offer daily nonstop flights between Los Angeles and Palm Springs year-round.

“This year-round service reflects the growing demand we’re seeing at PSP during all months of the year,” Executive Director of Aviation Harry Barrett Jr. said in a statement. “Reliable, year-round connectivity to LAX strengthens our region’s access to global destinations while supporting continued growth for our community.”

Airport officials said the expansion of service from seasonal to year-round was part of the airport’s strategy to enhance connectivity, expand nonstop options and better serve travelers.

“We’re excited to expand our seasonal service between Palm Springs and Los Angeles to year-round,” said Mark Weithofer, United’s managing director of Domestic Network Planning. “From trips with friends, traveling to see family and all the moments in between — this provides our travelers with greater flexibility and more convenient options that best suit their travel needs.”

There will be up to two daily flights during peak travel seasons and one daily flight during the summer months. In addition, guests departing from PSP can connect to more than two dozen destinations, including Hawaii, Asia, Mexico and Canada.
