Low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines has announced it will add sixteen new routes starting in 2025. The move expands the airline’s services in the United States and the Caribbean, as one of its budget competitors, Spirit Airlines, maintains a contract next. file for bankruptcy.
The new routes will launch at 21 different airports in February and March, Frontier said Tuesday.
The move comes as budget airlines face increasing competition from traditional airlines, which are driving them out of some airports with their own cheap fares for a basic plane ticket. And some consumers are changing their preferences for a more premium travel experience as they need to travel post-pandemic, in what has been dubbed “revenge travel.”
Still, analysts emphasize that budget airlines aren’t going anywhere.
“There are always going to be startups trying to disrupt the space and they’re going to try to compete because there are a lot of routes that these major airlines don’t serve as much,” said Jesse Neugarten, CEO and founder of Dollar Flight Club, a flight deals site, told CBS MoneyWatch.
In August, Frontier announced the launch of 11 new routes at 15 airports for the fall.
