Frontier Airlines announced 12 new routes on Wednesday and a new focus towards Florida and Mexico in time for the winter season. Going forward, Frontier will target Cancun, Mexico, and Tampa, Florida in its new network expansion.
The new schedule will begin on November 30th, and the new routes include six new routes to Cancun International Airport, five non-stop routes to Tampa International Airport, and the last of the 12 will connect Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Punta Cana International Airport in the Dominican Republic.
Frontier will also offer introductory fares beginning at $89 one-way to Cancun and $39 one-way to Tampa. What’s more, Frontier made Tampa a crew base in May 2021 and will build another base in Atlanta later this year.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, business travel starting lagging, and Frontier’s focus on Tampa and Cancun is a shift to leisure travel.
The Senior Vice President of Commercial, Daniel Shurtz, said, “We're excited to grow in our newest base city, Tampa, with five new, non-stop routes beginning right in time for the winter travel season.
“Tampa continues to shine, literally and figuratively, as a destination people want to visit, especially in the winter months.”
The Impact Of The Delta Variant
After a strong summer season as travel rebounded in the U.S, airlines suggest bookings are starting to drop because of rising cases due to the Delta variant. This is causing travelers to cancel or postpone their plans.
The CMO of United Airlines, Andrew Nocella, stated that he believes bookings will drop between October, November, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
However, the top trending winter destinations include Cancun at number two, Punta Cana at number five, and Saratose in Tampa at number ten.
