Thread: F9 Expands ATL, TPA...

TPA and ATL this year.


The ULCC, which this summer plans to serve 18 nonstop routes from TPA and 16 from ATL, said both destinations have become “increasingly important” points in its network.


As a result, the airline will establish a crew base at TPA in May and intends to open a base at ATL before the end of 2021. Approximately 250 flight attendants and 140 pilots will be based at TPA this year with that number expected to increase in the future.


“With our low-cost structure and focus on leisure travel, Frontier is exceptionally well positioned to increase operations this year and continue to expand in these two growing markets,” Frontier CEO Barry Biffle said.
“We anticipate that nearly 400 Frontier crew members will be based in Tampa by the end of 2021. Atlanta is also on the radar for later this year and those details will become more solidified as things progress.”
