Frontier Airlines is offering new daily service from CVG to Fort Myers and Atlanta and is doubling service to Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Las Vegas.
In celebration of the new service, Frontier is offering special one-day pricing today.
Frontier will launch service to Atlanta (ATL) and Ft. Myers (RSW). In addition, service to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) will increase from three times per week to seven times per week; service to Orlando (MCO) will increase from four times per week to seven flights per week; service to Las Vegas (LAS) will increase from one flight per day to two times per day. Frontier will continue offering daily service to Denver (DEN) and Dallas (DFW). Frontier will also continue to operate three flights weekly to Washington, DC – Dulles (IAD) as well as weekly service to Cancun (CUN) and Punta Cana (PUJ). The new service additions will have an estimated $75 million economic impact to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region.
“The launch of this new service marks an exciting day for both the Cincinnati area and Frontier,” said Daniel Shurz, senior vice president-commercial for Frontier Airlines. “For Cincinnati, it means more low fares to more destinations, and for Frontier, it’s a growth opportunity because of the response from the local community.”
This new service from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport will operate on a 138-seat Airbus A319 aircraft. At FlyFrontier.com, customers can always choose from either of Frontier’s fare options – Classic Plus or Economy. Classic Plus is a fully refundable fare that includes amenities like no change fees, a carry-on bag, one checked bag, and STRETCH seating. With Frontier’s Economy fares, customers can pay our lowest fares and add-on the services they want – like selecting a seat assignment, a carry-on bag, and checked bags.
“This is a truly remarkable day at CVG,” said Candace McGraw, chief executive officer, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. “Frontier was the first low-cost carrier to begin service at CVG in May 2013 with one daily flight to Denver. In less than two years, Frontier will offer 61 flights per week to 11 destinations. With this announcement, Frontier will increase from 32 flights to 61 flights and will increase its weekly seat capacity from 4,500 to 8,500.”
“This is just another example of the success for Frontier Airlines,” said Wm. T. (Bill) Robinson III, Kenton County Airport Board Chairman. “This addition further expands CVG’s low cost carrier foot print and enhances our ability to provide a variety of options to customers in the Tri-State region. With this addition, low cost carriers will account for 17% of our flight operation in the second quarter 2015. This success would not be possible without the support of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky community.”
