Since the start of June, Frontier Airlines has introduced new routes from three major U.S. airports: Atlanta, San Diego, and Seattle-Paine Field. This expansion comes as the low-cost carrier seeks to diversify its network amid challenging times for no-frills airlines in the United States.
Frontier Airlines launched six new routes from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on June 12 and 13. These include flights to Jacksonville International Airport, John Glenn Columbus International Airport, Palm Beach International Airport, San Pedro Sula Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport, Southwest Florida International Airport, and St. Louis Lambert International Airport. Josh Flyr, Vice President of Network and Operations Design at Frontier Airlines, noted a 40% year-on-year increase in departures from Atlanta this month.
Data from Cirium’s Diio Mi airline planning tool indicates that none of these new routes will be monopolies. For instance, flights from Atlanta to Columbus are also operated by Delta Air Lines with 59 weekly departures and daily flights by Southwest Airlines and Spirit Airlines.
