Frontier Airlines announced today that it’s adding three new routes from New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to three of American Airlines’ hubs. New flights to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), and Miami International Airport (MIA) will begin between March and May.
American is in Frontier’s sights with three new routes launching this spring. The new flights to/from New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) will run on the following schedule:
- Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) (4x weekly; starts on April 22nd)
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) (daily; starts on May 1st)
- Miami International Airport (MIA) (daily; starts on March 30th)
Josh Flyr, Vice President of Network and Operations Design, Frontier Airlines:
This is an exciting day for consumers as we once again expand our offerings at JFK. With the launch of these ultra-low fare flights to Miami, Dallas and Los Angeles, we are increasing the availability of affordable travel to top destinations for New Yorkers, as well as making a New York adventure or business trip that much more affordable for budget-savvy consumers across the United States.”
With these additions, Frontier Airlines will offer nonstop flights to eight destinations from New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK). Frontier added flights to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) this past summer. It also announced flights to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) last year and cancelled them before launch.
Anthony’s Take: It’s interesting to see Frontier going after American. The low-cost carrier has launched and cut quite a number of routes over the past year. LAX was announced once before and then cut. Let’s see what sticks.

Where are they getting these slots from?
Good question. We’ll see if these launch or get cut like the last time they announced LAX.
I find it somewhat ironic that however bad the business plan, American has been stating for years that their competition is not full service quality airlines but discount airlines like Frontier and now Frontier goes after American in turn. Competing with ULCC’s isn’t going to earn American a desperately needed revenue premium but that’s pretty much par for the impressively inept AA management people.
