Frontier will provide airservices to and from Bismarck starting May 17.


Frontier Airlines announced new nonstop service to Bismarck (BIS) from its Denver International Air- port (DEN) hub, marking a record 67 nonstop destinations served by the airline from Denver. The new Bismarck service begins May 17, 2012, with ive weekly lights. Frontier is celebrating the new service with low introductory fares starting at $60* each way (taxes and fees included) available at Fron- tierAirlines.com.


“This is a signiicant milestone for


both Frontier and the city of Denver,” said David Siegel, Frontier’s president and CEO. “As the largest low-fare car- rier at Denver International Airport, we bring more low-cost, nonstop light options in and out of the city than any other carrier. We look forward to working with the city and state to fur- ther increase the number of destina- tions served by Frontier.” “Frontier’s continued commitment


to its hometown has a signiicant economic impact on the Denver metro region,” said Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock. “Having a low-cost carrier based in our city, providing nonstop lights to more destinations, helps to make Denver a world-class destination to live, work and play” In just the month of February, Fron- tier added six new nonstop destina- tions to its route map. In addition to the nonstop service to Bismarck, Fron- tier added nonstop lights from Denver to Bloomington/Normal, Ill. (BMI) and Cedar Rapids, Iowa (CID), along with seasonal nonstop service to Belling- ham, Wash. (BLI), Great Falls, Mont. (GTF) and Harrisburg, Pa. (MDT). Low introductory fares are available


for each of Frontier’s six new markets at FrontierAirlines.com, where you’re guaranteed to ind the lowest available Frontier fare. *Restrictions Apply.
