WINGS OVER DURANGO! Frontier Airlines announced Thursday it will expand service to eight cities across the Rockies - including Durango!
The flights will start in April and May using turboprop aircraft from its Lynx Aviation subsidiary and regional jets operated by Republic Air, both of which are more efficient and economical on shorter trips.
Ron Dent, aviation director of the Durango-La Plata County Airport, said Frontier's arrival could spur a 50 percent reduction in fares. "Sometimes, we do not have enough seats to Denver," Dent said. "Frontier's arrival will generate a lot of new traffic and will cement Durango as the air transporation hub of the Four Corners."
Frontier's goal is to drive more traffic to its hub at Denver International Airport, which we Durangoans currently access through United. On May 15, Frontier will have 74 seat turboprops available for service from Durango with three daily round trip flights.
We extend our best wishes to FrontIer and say, "WELCOME TO DURANGO!"
