EWING -- Frontier Airlines plans to add flights from Trenton-Mercer Airport to five additional cities -- Atlanta, Chicago (Midway), Columbus, Detroit and Raleigh-Durham -- starting in April.
The expansion plan comes just weeks before Frontier begins flights to Fort Myers, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa, Fla, and New Orleans later this month. The airline has been flying to Orlando, Fla. since November.
The new flights are expected to be announced at a press conference at 11 a.m. today at the Mercer County airport, but the route list is already available on Frontier's website: www.flyfrontier.com.
Frontier officials said in November that the early sales on the Orlando flights with low cost fares ranging from $69 to $89 each way prompted the company to expand to three additional Florida cities and New Orleans.
Trenton-Mercer Airport is roughly equidistant between Newark Liberty International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport, but has struggled for years to find an airline that could make the airport a viable alternative.
Fourteen other commercial airlines have come and gone from the county airport since 1983.
The Fort Lauderdale route will begin Feb. 2 and include flights on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Fort Myers flights begin Jan. 31 and will fly on Thursdays and Sundays. The Tampa flights begin Jan. 31 and will fly on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The New Orleans flights begin Feb. 1 and will fly on Mondays and Fridays.
