FL Reveals More Regional Routes

Declaring itself “King of the Mountains,” Frontier Airlines finally unveiled more regional aircraft destinations yesterday, when it announced eight new markets “designed to optimize the financial performance of its Embraer E-170 and Bombardier Q400 regional aircraft.” The ERJ is operated for Frontier Jet Express by Republic Air while the Q400 is operated by Frontier’s fledgling subsidiary Lynx Aviation.
A centerpiece to the regional realignment will be new non-stop service between Frontier's Denver International Airport (DEN) hub and four of Colorado's top destinations using Lynx and its Q400 to serve Colorado Springs, Aspen/Pitkin, Durango-La Plata and Grand Junction. Colorado Springs will start April 15 while the others launch on May 15.
In addition to the expansion in its home state of Colorado, Frontier also announced several new non-stops to other Rocky Mountain and regional destinations from Denver including Republic service to Fargo, N.D., Missoula and Bozeman, Mont., starting May 12, May 16 and May 22, respectively. It will also launch service to Spokane this summer. Lynx will serve Jackson Hole beginning May 15. It will also start Billings service this summer.
