Trenton-Mercer Airport expansion accompanies Frontier's Florida-bound flights

Trenton-Mercer Airport has become a key player for residents between New York City and Philadelphia looking for budget flights to Florida. Currently, Frontier Airlines is the sole airline operating at the airport, providing four scheduled routes to Florida during April. These flights offer an alternative to larger airports in the region.

Trenton-Mercer is recognized as "one of only three commercial airports in New Jersey," with "approximately 85,000 take-offs and landings each year," according to the airport. Its economic significance is emphasized in the contribution of jobs and substantial economic inputs to the local area. Formerly known as Mercer County Airport, this facility has served since 1929 and is currently the third-busiest in New Jersey.

While Trenton-Mercer was previously utilized by multiple airlines, since 2018, Frontier has been the only remaining carrier after Allegiant Air exited. Despite this, the airport accommodates diverse users, including Fortune 100 companies and state services. Trenton officials note, "The aviation units of numerous Fortune 100 companies, a corporate terminal and repair base, the U.S. Customs Service, the New Jersey State Police, and the New Jersey National Guard are also located at the airport."
