Frontier Airlines has added Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport to its airport roster.
The low fare airline that primarily caters to non-business flyers now offers flights between BWI Marshall and Denver.
The airline will add service between BWI Marshall and Orlando, Florida starting on April 11.
“We are pleased to welcome Frontier Airlines, which offers new opportunities for tourism and business development,” said Ricky Smith, executive director of BWI Marshall Airport. “A growing airline, Frontier offers excellent low fare service for local residents and visitors. New flights affirm the strength of our market, which remains very attractive for airline service.”
Frontier will initially offer four weekly roundtrip flights between BWI Marshall Airport and Denver International Airport. The airline will operate the service using Airbus A320 aircraft. Frontier will begin three roundtrip flights per week between BWI Marshall and Orlando, Florida on April 11.
BWI is a popular airport for Delaware travelers who often take advantage of more than 200 daily flights from Southwest Airlines.
Frontier joins Spirit Airlines as an ultra-low-fare carrier at the Maryland airport. Both carriers charge low base fares and add fees for carry-ons, checked luggage and seat assignments. Frontier recently launched kids fly free promotions.
Frontier briefly served New Castle Airport, before shifting operations to Philadelphia International Airport. It now offers flights from Philadelphia to two dozen cities that typically operate a few times a week. Orlando and Denver are exceptions.
