Frontier Airlines fortifies Orlando presence
Frontier Airlines will add five destinations to its route map from late October through December while adding 17 routes out of Orlando.
The five destinations will include the Caribbean locales of Turks & Caicos; Belize City; Liberia, Costa Rica; and Antigua, all of which Frontier will service from Orlando. The carrier will also fly to Belize weekly from Denver, beginning Dec. 11.
Frontier’s fifth new destination will be New York Stewart Airport, located approximately 60 miles north of Manhattan. From Stewart, Frontier plans to fly a combined 10 times weekly to the Florida cities of Miami, Tampa and Orlando, with the first of those routes, Stewart-Orlando, launching on Oct. 25.
Allegiant also flies to Florida destinations from Stewart. JetBlue used to fly to Florida from Stewart, but the carrier suspended service from the airport last year due to the pandemic.
All told, Frontier announced 20 new routes on Tuesday, all of which are slated to operate year-round. Each of those routes, with the exception of Orlando-Fort Myers, will be operated less than daily, including five that will be operated only weekly.

In total, Frontier is scheduled to fly 80 routes from Orlando this winter, spokesman Zach Kramer said.
The carrier’s build-up in Orlando follows Spirit Airlines’ unveiling early this month of the largest schedule it has ever flown from Orlando. The announcement also comes just one week after Frontier unveiled 21 new routes launching this fall from Atlanta, Las Vegas and Dallas-Fort Worth.
