Frontier Airlines is Silicon Valley’s Newest Startup

San José Councilmember Johnny Khamis joined July 18, with Frontier Airlines’ Director, Financial Planning and Analysis James Fenner, Interim Director of Aviation John Aitken and other city and business leaders to announce the startup of nonstop service between Mineta San José International Airport (SJC) and four destinations where Silicon Valley business and leisure travelers want to go. As part of a significant network expansion, Frontier announced service to Denver and Las Vegas to begin Oct. 5, 2017, and Nov. 1, 2017, respectively. One-way fares as low as $29 are on sale now at FlyFrontier.com. Additional service to Austin and first-ever flights to San Antonio from San José will be on sale soon for spring 2018 travel.  

“With today’s announcement, Frontier now offers our Low Fares Done Right service in San José with service to four destinations,” said Fenner, “Customers traveling from San José now have a new and significantly lower-cost option to reach these great destinations.”

Frontier operates a modern and fuel-efficient fleet of Airbus aircraft, with the 150-seat A319 scheduled on the daily Denver route and the A320, seating 180 travelers, on the four-weekly Las Vegas flights.  

“I’d like to thank Frontier Airlines for its investment in San José and Silicon Valley and for recognizing the importance of offering nonstop service to four key markets from Mineta San José International Airport, including our first-ever non-stop service to San Antonio,” Mayor Sam Liccardo said. “All of these destinations have been ranked as top destinations for San José residents and businesses and Frontier’s focus on Silicon Valley reflects the growing importance and interest in our region among both business and leisure travelers.”
