Frontier Airlines is eliminating two nonstop destinations from CLE at least temporarily, in an effort to focus on warm-weather routes through the winter.
Nonstop flights to DEN and ATL will be discontinued starting in early January, according to airline spokesman Jim Faulkner. The DEN flight will return at a date to-be-determined in the summer. Faulkner said a decision hasn't been made on whether the ATL route will continue.
The reductions leave Frontier with five destinations from CLE this winter, down from eight a year ago. Also missing are FLL and PHX which were cut earlier this year; new this winter is CUN.
Faulkner said the changes reflect Frontier's emphasis on warm-weather destinations in the winter. The airline is adding service between Florida destinations and several northern cities, including MKE, IND, MCI and others.
Frontier has added an extra daily flight between CLE and MCO this fall, a route it is flying on its largest planes, new 230-passenger Airbus 321s.
