Frontier Airlines Announces Two New Nonstop Routes

CHARLESTON, SC (February 8, 2018) - Frontier Airlines announced today the addition of two new routes to and from the Charleston International Airport (CHS). Frontier will service weekly nonstop flights to Austin, TX (AUS) and Trenton, N.J. (TTN) starting April 8th. This announcement comes before the carrier even begins service at Charleston International Airport (CHS). Weekly flights to Denver, CO and Philadelphia, PA will begin February 20th and flights to Chicago, IL will begin May 11th.

"Even though we have yet to start service, the Charleston community has already embraced our unique brand of Low Fares, Done Right," said Frontier Airlines' Sr. Director of Ancillary and Loyalty, Scott Fisher. "We are committed to making flying affordable for everyone and to be adding new service here before our first flights have even departed speaks to the early support of the community and our partners here at the Charleston Airport. With these two new flights, we will now offer low-cost, nonstop flights to five great destinations."

Frontier's CHS to TTN schedule beginning April 8, 2018 will be as follows:

Depart CHS: 1:09 PM - Arrive TTN: 3:11 PM
Depart TTN: 10:19 AM - Arrive CHS: 12:19 PM
Frequency: Wednesday, Friday and Sunday

Frontier's CHS to AUS schedule beginning April 10, 2018 will be as follows:

Depart CHS: 4:44 PM - Arrive AUS: 7:03 PM
Depart AUS: 12:15 PM - Arrive CHS: 3:54 PM
Frequency: Tuesday and Friday

"It is unprecedented in Charleston for an airline to announce an expansion before its start of service date, but our new friends at Frontier Airlines have done just that. It is an obvious vote of confidence that we surely appreciate. This new service will help to ensure an eighth consecutive year of record passenger activity at Charleston International Airport," said Charleston County Aviation Authority's Chief Executive Officer, Paul Campbell.

Explore Charleston's Chief Executive Officer, Helen Hill, added, "Frontier Airlines' unique business model has obviously been well received in Charleston, and we strongly believe the exciting new service from Austin and Trenton will be a welcomed addition to the already vastly improved air service matrix in Charleston. We always view new air service as our industry's gift to the region."

To celebrate the addition of these new routes, fares will be available as low as $39* each way. To book, visit FlyFrontier.com.
