Denver-based Frontier Airlines has announced the launch of eight new routes, six of which are from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL).
The planned expansion comes less than two months after the carrier said it intends to open a base at ATL before the end of 2021. The six additions will increase the airline’s network from the country s busiest airport to 22 routes.
Starting June 10, Frontier will begin a 3X-weekly service between ATL and Phoenix (PHX). Flights to Cleveland (CLE), Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) and Hartford, Connecticut (BDL) start a day later, each of which will be served four times per week.
Three times-weekly service to Providence (PVD) and 4X-weekly service to Portland, Maine (PWM) will begin on July 12 and 13 respectively.
America’s airports are seeing an uptick in activity this spring, which is a big change from the near-empty buildings of the past year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Now that March is in the rear-view mirror, a look back saw 26 of the month’s 31 days top 1 million in checkpoint volume, the best month for throughput in a very, very long time,” Lisa Farbstein, spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), posted on Twitter on Thursday.
“Overall, over the past month, we went cash positive at the beginning of March,” said Barry Biffle, president and CEO of Denver-based Frontier Airlines, on Bloomberg Surveillance on Thursday. “And that’s just a reflection of the demand that’s out there. You think about the vaccine, it’s just unlocking all of this demand.”
