Frontier Airlines has resumed operations at Hollywood Burbank Airport, launching nonstop flights to three major western US destinations. The service began on November 21, 2024, with routes to San Francisco International Airport and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Flights to Denver International Airport commenced the following day.

The airline's return was announced earlier this year. Josh Flyr, Vice President of Network and Operations Design at Frontier Airlines, expressed enthusiasm for the relaunch: "We are thrilled to be back at Hollywood Burbank Airport, offering consumers in the greater Los Angeles area ultra-low-cost travel options to San Francisco, Phoenix, and Denver just in time for holiday travel."

Frontier Airlines will operate these routes using its expanding fleet of Airbus A320 family aircraft. Currently, the airline operates eight Airbus A320s, 82 A320neos, 21 A321s, and 45 A321neos. An additional 27 A320neos and 163 A321neos are on order.
