Frontier Airlines is moving in. Quick. Aggressive. Right where Spirit left a mess.
The budget carrier announced four new routes Tuesday. They weren’t random picks. These are spots Spirit used to own before collapsing into dust.
We’re being disciplined.
Frontier CEO James Dempsey said that in May. Back then, they shared about a third of their routes. Now? Frontier wants more.
South Florida gets action. Orlando does too. So does the Caribbean. Detroit gets a chance to breathe, shaking off the ghost of Spirit which had been Delta’s only real nuisance for years.
Here’s the split.
- Detroit to Los Angeles
- Houston to San Juan
- Kansas City to Orlando
- Denver to Fort Lauderdale
Some of this is old news. Frontier flew Denver-Fort Lauderdale in 2020. Kansas City-Orlando ran until 2022. The rest? Fresh.
Spirit didn’t leave overnight. They cut routes as money bled out. Now the space is empty. And Frontier is stepping right in.
Makes sense? Yeah. It does. They were the two biggest ultra-low-cost options in America until May. Now it’s just one player trying to hold the fort.
Wait for it.
There’s more.
Hours before talking about airports, Frontier talked about stars. Not the celebrities. The ones in orbit. They’re adding Starlink Wi-Fi.
No more dead zones. No more “internet for $35.” Just fast connectivity on planes that never offered it before.
You have to wonder. Will cheap flights stay cheap?
Spirit is gone. Frontier is filling the holes. The internet is coming to your window seat.
Airfare might still spike.
