Frontier to Add More Denver Flights from Four Cities, Resume Fairbanks Service

Frontier Airlines is increasing service frequency from its Denver International Airport hub (DEN) to Chicago Midway (MDW), Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), New York LaGuardia (LGA) and Sacramento, California (SMF) next spring.

The new flights, and Frontier Airlines’ complete summer schedule, are available for booking through September 10, 2011 at www.FrontierAirlines.com.

“This increase in service to Chicago, Dallas, New York and Sacramento provides Frontier’s guests with greater convenience, flexibility and low fares for their summer travels,” says Daniel Shurz, Frontier’s vice president of strategy and planning. “With more than 60 nonstop destinations in the United States, Mexico and Costa Rica, Frontier provides the Colorado community access to more nonstop destinations than any other low-cost carrier.”

Frontier Airlines, which under its new owner Republic Airways Holdings is being merged with Midwest Airlines under the Frontier name, took delivery of this new Airbus A320 on March 31, 2010. The first of three A320s to be delivered to Frontier in the spring of 2010, this aircraft features 'Ozzy the Orca' on its tail
