Frontier Adds More Flights and Destinations at RDU

Airline Expands Schedule for Summer Travel:

Frontier Airlines is expanding its flight schedule and adding destinations at RDU just in time for the busy summer travel season. The airline will add Houston (IAH) and Chicago-Midway (MDW) to its lineup in June and increase the number of flights to cities it already serves.

“Frontier’s latest expansion at RDU represents the largest investment they have made to the Raleigh-Durham region since they launched service here,” said Michael Landguth, president and CEO of the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority. “Frontier’s new destinations and additional flight offerings provide Triangle travelers even more options for summer getaways to their favorite destinations.”

Frontier will have a total of 20 nonstop destinations at RDU and 112 weekly flights when its seasonal flights to Chicago and Houston launch this summer.

“Frontier Airlines far and away offers the most expansive array of low-cost, convenient nonstop flight options from RDU and we are pleased to expand our offerings even further with new service to Chicago and Houston,” said Josh Flyr, vice president of network and operational design for Frontier Airlines. “With our largest-ever number of departures from RDU this summer, we are strongly committed to providing the Raleigh-Durham community with ‘Low Fares Done Right’ to a wide variety of popular U.S. destinations.”

Frontier’s service to Chicago (MDW) begins June 16 and will operate on Mon., Wed., Fri. and Sat. Service to Houston (IAH) begins June 18 and will operate on Tues., Thurs. and Sun.
