Frontier Airlines announced a major expansion of service Thursday, including new flights between Colorado Springs and Denver. You can start booking flights right away for the service that begins April 15. Colorado Springs Mayor Lionel Rivera is pleased with the expansion, "The citizens of Colorado Springs prefer the ease and convenience of their hometown airport, but they also want access to Frontier's friendly, low fare service," said Rivera. "Frontier's new Colorado Springs service will give us the best of both worlds."
Frontier announced in November that it will build a $25 million, 100,000 square foot maintenance facility at the Colorado Springs Airport. It will be completed next year, and will create 225 jobs.
Frontier is also expanding service to Grand Junction, Aspen and Durango in Colorado, and cities in Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota. The expansions in Colorado are seen as an added opportunity to draw tourists to the state. "We're thrilled Colorado's hometown carrier is making it easier for travelers across the United States to reach the Rocky Mountains and their ample tourist attractions," said Rob Perlman, Chairman of the Colorado Tourism Office Board of Directors. "Experiencing Colorado's world-class ski resorts, superior outdoor recreation, historic and natural points of interest and cultural events is easier than ever. Frontier's expanded air service to Colorado Springs and its natural wonders, Grand Junction and its growing agritourism, and the mountain airports of Aspen and Durango is great news for locals and visitors alike and illustrates Frontier's continued commitment to improving air access throughout Colorado," Perlman added.
