Frontier Airlines keeps tweaking its schedule and lately there have been more cuts than additions. As of yesterday, it looked like 30 more were being removed from the map, but in reality it’s actually 43 that are being cut. Here is the full list:

Anthony’s Take: Frontier has hacked up its fall schedule worse than initially thought. Let’s see if it continues to add more business-focused routes between other carrier’s hubs as it has been doing the past few months.
