Frontier Airlines Announces New Service to Five Cities from PHL

Frontier Airlines announced that it will begin nonstop seasonal flights between Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and Atlanta, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, Pensacola and Raleigh-Durham starting in the Spring, continuing the “Ultra Low-Cost Carrier’s” expansion in Philadelphia.

The five new cities will bring the destinations Frontier serves to 31 from Philadelphia, with a mix of seasonal and year-round service. Ten of those destinations were added in 2018. Next month, the Denver-based carrier begins seasonal flights to Montego Bay from Philadelphia.

“Frontier’s growing network here gives more affordable options to folks who want to travel by air,” said Airport CEO Chellie Cameron. “These destinations Frontier is adding to its PHL network are popular with vacationers, as well as business travelers. We are very pleased by Frontier’s focus on Philadelphia and are eager for more service to more cities.”

“We are always thrilled when airlines choose to add more flights at Philadelphia International Airport,” said Mayor Jim Kenney. “Frontier has steadily grown their presence in our city and this latest round of new destinations will give passengers even more options for travel to and from other popular U.S. cities. I look forward to Frontier’s continued partnership with PHL.”

Frontier plans to use Airbus 320 aircraft on the routes. The service to Atlanta, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach and Raleigh-Durham start on April 30. The service to Pensacola begins on May 3.
