Adds 21 New Cities, 85 New Routes

Frontier Airlines has announced a significant network expansion adding 21 new cities which will increase the number of destinations served by the low-fare carrier by 30 percent and double the number of total routes. By next spring, Frontier says it will serve 90 percent of the U.S. population, which is expected to bring more than $1 billion dollars in savings to consumers through lower airfares.

“We are proud to announce the nationwide expansion of our unique brand of Low Fares Done Right which will empower millions more people to afford to fly,” Barry Biffle, president and CEO for Frontier Airlines, said. “We project this will save our customers over a billion dollars annually on their flights. These new flights will allow us to serve even more of America and make flying a truly affordable option.”

The network expansion includes:

• Twenty-one new cities, about a 30 percent increase in cities to 82 cities
• Eighty-five new routes
• Nonstop routes nearly double by Summer of 2018 to 314
• Total routes (including connections) grow to well over 1000 by Summer 2018 (more than double the current number of total routes)
• Expansion of winter service to warm weather destinations with significant growth in Tampa, Miami, Orlando, Fort Myers, FL and Cancun, Mexico

The carrier has also extended its schedule with all flights on sale through April 7, 2018.

“Customers will benefit not only from the broad new selection of nonstop routes, but our growing network will provide more than 1,000 new connecting route options,” Biffle continued. “By taking advantage of our natural share of connecting passengers, we can offer our low fares to even more of America. This is particularly important through our largest hub and our home in Denver.”
