Frontier Airlines will begin scheduled, nonstop flights from Punta Gorda Airport to Philadelphia and Trenton, in late October.
This is the first time Frontier Airlines will offer service out of Punta Gorda Airport, which is in the Sarasota area in southern Florida on the Gulf Coast.
Frontier served Florida points from Wilmington for a time before making Philadelphia as its focus.
Service for Chicago O’Hare and Philadelphia will begin Oct. 30, with scheduled flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays; Trenton service will start Oct. 31 with flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays
“Punta Gorda offers travelers another great option when looking for warm weather getaways during the cold weather months in the northern part of the United Sates,” said Daniel Shurz, senior vice president – commercial, Frontier Airlines. “We’re excited to offer travelers in the Midwest and on the East Coast nonstop service to a great vacation spot.”
Frontier is the second airline service to provide nonstop service for passengers at Punta Gorda Airport, the result of long-term efforts by the Charlotte County Airport Authority to attract additional low-cost airline service providers. Allegiant Air also offers service.
