Frontier Airlines Launches Non-Stop Service Between Denver and Baton Rouge Frontier becomes the only low-cost carrier serving Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, and the first new airline service to Louisiana's capital in more than 20 years

DENVER, Aug. 15 - Beginning today, Wednesday, Aug. 15, Frontier will start non-stop service between its Denver International Airport (DEN) hub and Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR).

The new, twice-daily service connects travelers from the West to southern beauty, Creole culture and Cajun cuisine in the heart of Louisiana's Plantation Country, and will provide Red Stick travelers with convenient connections to Frontier cities such as Las Vegas, Phoenix and Calgary. Frontier will be the only low-cost carrier serving Baton Rouge, providing the first new airline service to Louisiana's capital city in 21 years.

Baton Rouge is one of the largest cities on the Mississippi River and is Louisiana's second most populous city with more then 600,000 residents. It provides a gateway to the heart of southeastern Louisiana's Cajun County.

The city's unique cultural influences can be seen in historical attractions including plantations along River Road, heard in the sound of Zydeco music and tasted in Cajun cuisine favorites including crawfish, jambalaya and gumbo. "Today marks an historic occasion as a new frontier is inaugurated for our passengers to explore and enjoy," stated Anthony J. Marino, Director of Aviation - Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport.

"The maiden voyage from Baton Rouge to Denver and vice versa will ensure the residents of Baton Rouge and the surrounding area more options, lower fares, and superior service. Frontier, their Denver hub, four countries, and over 60 destinations are a perfect fit for our passengers originating in Louisiana. We are elated and grateful to welcome our fifth major airline and the first low-fare carrier to serve the Baton Rouge market. We are looking forward to future expansion and additions from Frontier."

"We are proud to be the first new airline to start service to Baton Rouge in more than 20 years and we look forward to bringing our superior on-time service, comfortable aircraft and in-flight entertainment to travelers on this route," said John Happ, senior vice president of marketing and planning for Frontier.

"As the only low-cost carrier serving Baton Rouge, we are excited to make travel to Denver and the Rocky Mountain West affordable for passengers from Baton Rouge."
