Frontier Airlines announces major route expansion including returns and new services

This fall, Frontier Airlines will expand its operations by adding service to two new cities and returning to a third. Starting in October, the budget airline will begin nonstop flights from Richmond International Airport in Virginia and Corpus Christi International Airport in Texas. Additionally, Frontier will resume service to Tulsa, Oklahoma, after a three-year hiatus.

The expansion is part of a broader 15-route growth strategy announced by the Denver-based carrier. The new routes include increased flights from Texas, New York, Chicago, Missouri, and Denver International Airport.

"With new destinations in Texas and Virginia, our return to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and new routes between several of our top cities, now is a better time than ever for consumers to give Frontier a try," said Josh Flyr, vice president of network and operations design at Frontier.
