Low-cost carrier Frontier is beefing up its presence at American’s Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) hub. It announced today that it’s adding 10 new destinations this summer, which increases daily departures by 47% this summer.

- Chicago O’Hare International Airport (daily; starts on May 21st)
- John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) (3x weekly; starts on May 22nd)
- Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) (daily; starts on May 16th)

Barry Biffle, CEO of Frontier Airlines, said:
From the Midwest to the East Coast and from Maine to Florida, these new routes span much of the country and represent our continued commitment to growth from PHL. In fact, PHL will see the second largest increase in daily departures on Frontier this summer among our major operational bases.”
Anthony’s Take: Frontier is coming in hot in Philadelphia. This will likely not sit well with American. We’ll have to wait and see how it replies and if it adds flights or cuts fares on these routes.
