Jul 1, 2010Frontier Airlines Makes Changes at Milwaukee HubTwo New Destinations; More Convenient Schedules
MILWAUKEE, July 01, 2010 -
Frontier Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Airways
Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RJET), today announced it will launch two new
destinations out of its Milwaukee hub. The new service includes
twice-daily nonstop flights between Milwaukee’s General Mitchell
International Airport (MKE) and Hartford’s Bradley International Airport
(BDL) beginning Sept. 27, 2010, and four weekly roundtrips to San
Antonio International Airport (SAT) beginning Nov. 19, 2010. Fares will
be available for purchase on FrontierAirlines.com
beginning July 1 for the San Antonio service and July 4 for the Hartford
service.
“Frontier Airlines will be the only carrier providing nonstop service
between Milwaukee and both Hartford and San Antonio,” said Daniel Shurz,
VP of strategy and planning. “With the addition of this service we
continue our commitment to providing the state of Wisconsin with more
destinations, convenient schedules and affordable air fares.”
In addition to the new destinations, Frontier Airlines is also making a
number of adjustments to flight schedules out of Milwaukee on Nov. 19.
The carrier will upgrade the aircraft serving several of its popular
destinations out of Milwaukee. This will include an upgrade to Airbus
A319 service on all Boston (BOS), Washington, D.C. (DCA), and New York
(LGA) flights, which were previously served with a combination of
Embraer 170 and 190 and Airbus A319 aircraft. The carrier will also
upgrade all Milwaukee-Philadelphia (PHL) flights from ERJ 145 to E170
service.
Also effective with the Nov. 19 schedule change, Frontier will readjust
its early morning and late evening flights to more convenient, easily
accessible times, as well as seasonally reducing the number of
connecting banks in Milwaukee from four to three.
“This is yet another step in our continued effort to provide our guests
with the best possible travel experience,” said Shurz. “Better schedules
and larger aircraft will equate to even greater convenience, more
comfort and affordable air fares for our guests traveling in and out of
Milwaukee.”
Frontier also announced that beginning Sept. 7, 2010, it will
discontinue service between Milwaukee and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta
International Airport (ATL) and it will accelerate the suspension of its
seasonal service to San Diego. All passengers booked on those routes
after Sept. 7 will be contacted by the airline for re-accommodation on
other flights.
Following are the flight schedules for the new service:
Milwaukee-Hartford* (effective Sept. 27, 2010)
*Available for purchase beginning July 4, 2010
Milwaukee-San Antonio* (effective Nov. 19, 2010)
*Available for purchase beginning July 1, 2010
