It has
been a crazy up and down year for Frontier Airlines when it comes to its
network.
The
carrier has added 71 new routes already this year, but has cut 30.
One of
the latest cuts among eight new ones seems awfully peculiar since the routes just
started two months ago. Frontier is cutting its flight from Ontario,
California, and San Diego to El Paso, Texas. Frontier is not leaving the
market; it will still fly there from its home base in Denver and from Las
Vegas. None of the flights involve abandoning a city, just a reduction in the
number of flights from certain cities.
All
eight are domestic routes, such as between Phoenix and St. Louis.
Frontier
declined to discuss its network changes other than to say the routes “have been
discontinued, at least seasonally.”
Frontier
will add another route, thanks to its crew base in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The
low-cost carrier will fly three times a week from San Juan to
fellow Caribbean nation Barbados. It will be Frontier’s first foray into
Barbados.
The
flights will be nonstop.
Frontier
also flies from San Juan to St. Maarten, St. Croix, Santiago in the
Dominican Republic and, starting next week, Trinidad.
Frontier recently announced transparent
pricing and no change fees.
