FRONTIER: Bobby Lieb, executive directive director of the Durango Chamber of Commerce, said Tuesday that Durango is among the cities being considered by Frontier Airlines for expanded service from Denver. Lieb's report was to a meeting of the La Plata Economic Development Action Partnership.
Frontier Airlines, which now carries 20 percent of Denver International Airport traffic, previously announced that it is acquiring 10 of the fuel efficient Bombardier Q400 model high wing turboprops to launch Frontier Express next July. Speculation has been that Frontier would use some of the planes to serve some of the state's mountain towns. Lieb's report was the first putting Durango in the mix. We hope he's correct.
Additional flights in and out of Durango obviously will make it easier for travelers to arrange and make connections to other parts of the country. Plus, with the high wing Bombardier the view of the trip over the front range will be even more spectacular. We'll keep you posted.
