Frontier Airlines has announced the addition of 16 new routes set to launch toward the end of the winter season, marking another significant change in its network for 2024. This move sees the Denver-based ultra-low-cost carrier revisiting some routes it operated in the late 2010s.

The airline's expansion focuses heavily on Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), which will see four new routes starting in early March. These include nonstop services to Orlando International Airport (MCO), Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD), Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX).

In response to a previous reduction in capacity, Frontier is adding flights from two major Florida airports, with MCO and Tampa International Airport (TPA) gaining four and three new destinations respectively. The announcement also includes a new intra-Caribbean route connecting Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to V.C. Bird International Airport (ANU) in Antigua and Barbuda.

Frontier has adjusted its flight schedules this year as part of efforts to increase profitability by focusing more on large and medium cities. "I think now, as we move to the winter season, we're optimistic that is going to change," said CEO Barry Biffle during the company's third-quarter earnings call.

Despite these additions, Frontier did not mention any cuts associated with this announcement but acknowledged making numerous adjustments throughout 2024. As demand patterns shift, travelers may find opportunities for low fares while seeking affordable travel options.
