Frontier Airways is launching twice-weekly, nonstop flights between Denver and Eagle County Regional Airport — simply over 30 miles from Vail Ski Lodge — this December, the airline introduced Tuesday.
The primary Eagle-County-bound flight will take off from Denver World Airport on Dec. 19, marking the primary time Frontier has landed within the county, consistent with a information unlock from the airline.
“We’re excited for this new alternative to spouse with Frontier,” director of aviation at Eagle County Regional Airport David Reid stated. “It’s this type of nice alternative for our area people.”
Reid stated the partnership used to be years within the making and were in growth no less than since he began his place on the airport 5 years in the past.
“The business is at all times converting and adapting,” Reid stated. “… This came about to be when the time used to be proper.”
Eagle County Regional Airport these days boasts in large part seasonal flights from Alaska Airways, Delta, United, and American Airways. United’s flight between DIA and Eagle County and American Airways’ flight between Dallas, Texas and Eagle County are the one two flights presented year-round at the regional airport’s roster.
“Whether or not the perfect getaway is lounging beneath a palm tree in California or taking part in the world-class snowboarding of the Rockies, our new carrier will attach customers within the Denver space and past with commute choices that make it simple and inexpensive to get there,” Frontier Airways spokesperson Josh Flyr stated within the unlock.
For now, flights between DIA and Eagle County are scheduled to be presented in the course of the summer time, consistent with Reid. It’s going to be as much as Frontier if the flights proceed after that and whether or not they’ll be presented seasonally or year-round.
To have a good time the brand new path, Frontier is providing low, introductory fares, airline officers stated within the unlock. Flights between Denver and Eagle County will get started at $99 for other people reserving commute between Dec. 12 and Feb. 25, 2025.
Alternatively, the introductory fares don’t follow to a couple of blackout sessions, together with Dec. 21 to Dec. 31, Jan. 1 to Jan. 7, Feb. 13 to Feb. 14 and Feb. 16 to Feb. 17, consistent with Frontier’s information unlock.
With this new Colorado vacation spot and some other Frontier path to be added between DIA and Palm Springs World Airport, Frontier will formally serve 65 locations from Denver.
