“Frontier flights have operated with a load factor on average that is above 90% since they started service last May. We are excited about the new opportunity this expanded schedule gives to the travelers in our region.”

When fully implemented, the new expanded schedule will offer two flights a day on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and one flight a day on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.  Both departure times will offer customers convenient flight connections from Denver to 19 destinations.  Flights will operate on a spacious 168-seat Airbus 320 or 138-seat Airbus aircraft, which offer more customer amenities.
