Frontier Airlines Asks DOT for Approval to Serve Acapulco From Denver
Denver Airline Hopes to Offer First Scheduled Service From Denver to Acapulco
DENVER, July 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Frontier Airlines (NASDAQ:FRNT) today announced that it has filed an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for authorization to expand its Mexico service by offering non-stop service to Acapulco (ACA) from its Denver hub with seasonal operation of as many as two flights per week. Service is planned to begin in December 2005. Acapulco would represent Frontier's seventh Mexican destination from Denver. Frontier already provides service to Cabo San Lucas, Cancun, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo (seasonal), and flights to Cozumel commence December 17th.
"Frontier's new relationship with Apple Vacations and its growing strength in the Mexico market made Acapulco our next logical destination," said Joe Cambron, Director of Planning and Scheduling. "In addition, the support of the Acapulco community has been instrumental in encouraging us to pursue this service."
