Frontier Airlines Increase Flight Service between Denver and Aspen
August 18, 2010 | Filed under : Airline Flight, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines
Frontier Airlines will offer daily flights between Denver and Aspen began October 1, 2010. Flight services will be increased to four flights per day from December 16, 2010 until April 2011.
Frontier Airlines aviation services include Colorado, including Durango and Colorado Springs.
Bill Tomcich, president of Stay Aspen Snowmass said, “That means 41,000 seats or so from December to April that we thought might be lost have been recovered. ”
Meanwhile, United Airlines is adding a fourth daily flight from Chicago and a second daily flight from San Francisco to Aspen this winter, Aspen/Pitkin County Airport officials said Tuesday.
That should keep air service this season about even with last year, even though Delta Air Lines won’t be flying to Aspen this winter, Tomcich said.
Tomcich did not expect Frontier to keep flying to Aspen long term. However, a planned runway extension at the airport would allow airlines to carry more passengers and could attract more air service, he said.
