Frontier Airlines adds 18 domestic routes in four days
On 13 June, Cleveland Airport celebrated with a cake ceremony the inaugural flight of Frontier Airlines to Atlanta. Preparing to cut the cake’s first slice is “Mr Awesome”.
- Frontier Airlines, which turned 20 this February, expanded its presence in the US domestic market with the addition of 18 new routes, all of which are operated by its 138-seat A319s and 168-seat A320s. Notably, the average weekly frequency across the 18 new airport pairs is slightly over 3.4. With the longest sector being the 3,252-kilometre sector from Cleveland, OH (CLE) to Seattle-Tacoma, WA (SEA), and the shortest being inaugurated from Cleveland, OH (CLE) to Raleigh-Durham, NC (RDU) at 669 kilometres, the 10th largest US carrier (according to Innovata schedule data for week commencing 18 February 2014), will face competition on 11 of the newly launched routes.
