Frontier Airlines will launch service to/from Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE) on June 2nd with a trio of routes. This is a new airport for Frontier and one that has been historically dominated by Alaska Airlines.
Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE) (also known as Paine Field) began commercial air service in March 2019. The airport is small and can only accommodate a total of 24 departures per day. In comparison, nearby Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) handles more than 600 daily departures. Alaska Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines began flying to the airport shortly after it was opened for commercial flights. Only Alaska Airlines remains as Southwest and United have ceased operations there.
Frontier Airlines will add 3x weekly service to the following destinations:
- Denver International Airport (DEN)
- Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
- Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)
Brett Smith, CEO of Propeller Airports, said:
This new service further validates Seattle Paine Field as the region’s ‘second’ airport. Frontier enhances our nationwide connectivity and provides customers throughout the region with additional options, while reducing congestion at our sister airport Seattle-Tacoma International. I know this is welcome news for our passengers.”
Anthony’s Take: Alaska Airlines has long held most of the activity at this airport. It’s interesting to see Frontier come in swinging with some new routes. United and Southwest could not make it work at the airport and shifted elsewhere. We’ll see how Frontier fares here.
