Frontier's Seven City Expansion Ends in Bozeman Bozeman launch completes airline's regional expansion
DENVER, May 22 - This morning, Frontier Airlines, along with the people of Bozeman, Mont., celebrated the final leg in the airline's most recent regional expansion.
Frontier flight 4901 landed in Bozeman kicking off three daily nonstop flights to and from Denver International Airport. Frontier announced the seven new regional markets in February, all of which are shorter-haul markets, better suited to leveraging the economics of the Bombardier Q400 aircraft.
A fleet of 10 Q400s are operated for Frontier by Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc. subsidiary Lynx Aviation. "I am so thrilled to have Bozeman rounding out our most recent city expansion," said Frontier President and CEO, Sean Menke.
"Bozeman is not only a beautiful vacation destination; it's an area of immense growth. We are looking forward to providing this community with our superior service and low-cost airfare." "The Bozeman Chamber extends a hearty Montana welcome to our new airline partner," said Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO David Smith.
"The Chamber is pleased to work with the local business community, Gallatin Field and Big Sky Resort to make this happen. We are confident that Frontier will find a great home in the Gallatin Valley for many years to come."
Following is the Bozeman flight schedule: Bozeman-Denver Flight Number Departs Arrives Frequency 3006 7:15 a.m. 9:10 a.m. Daily 4902 10:57 a.m. 12:39 p.m. Daily 3004 6:55 p.m. 8:50 p.m. Daily Denver-Bozeman Flight Number Departs Arrives Frequency 4901 8:45 a.m. 10:27 a.m. Daily 3003 4:30 p.m. 6:25 p.m. Daily 3005 9:35 p.m. 11:30 p.m.
Daily In addition to the new service to Bozeman, Frontier has also launched new nonstops to two other regional destinations from Denver including:
-- Hector International Airport (FAR), Fargo, N.D.
-- Jackson Hole Airport (JAC), Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Lynx Aviation's new fleet of Q400 aircraft is also serving four new Colorado markets with daily nonstop service from Denver:
-- Colorado Springs Airport (COS), Colorado Springs, Colo.
-- Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE), Aspen, Colo.
-- La Plata Airport (DRO), Durango, Colo.
-- Walker Field Airport (GJT), Grand Junction, Colo.
The quiet, fuel-efficient and technologically-advanced Q400 aircraft are ideal for flying into smaller markets, and allow Frontier to bring its industry-leading customer service to underserved markets unreachable with its larger aircraft.
Frontier's new service is expected to reduce the average fare in many of the new markets by as much as 50%.
