This announcement further supports the airline’s commitment to become the leading low-cost carrier in the top 20 US metros. As Spirit retreats, Frontier seems to be bloodthirsty and ready to keep on adding routes to make up the gaps created. United Airlines is also jumping on and adding flights as it flat out said that Spirit might go out of business.
Josh Flyr, Vice President of Network and Operations Design at Frontier Airlines, said:
We are on a mission to increase service domestically and internationally, and in the process redefine air travel by demonstrating that it can be comfortable, convenient and affordable. Whether consumers are planning to explore destinations across the US or to escape to the sunny Caribbean this winter, we can’t wait to welcome them aboard America’s Low Fare Airline.”
Anthony’s Take: Frontier has been brutal in targeting Spirit and quickly adding routes. We’ll see how this progresses as Spirit continues to reorganize.
