Frontier at Trenton: A Whole Different Animal

Earlier this month, Frontier Airlines doubled the number of destinations it serves from Trenton Mercer Airport in New Jersey. The airport, which the airline promotes as Princeton/Trenton, is roughly midway between Newark and Philadelphia international airports. While the distance between these airports is modest, surface congestion makes Trenton more convenient for a large population base in central New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania.

Frontier service from Trenton uses Airbus A319 aircraft and began on 16 November 2012 with twice-weekly service to Orlando, but even before starting Frontier had announced service to four additional vacation destinations plus doubling of service to Orlando:

• Fort Lauderdale – 3x weekly, effective 2 February 2013
• Fort Myers – 2x weekly, effective 31 January 2013
• New Orleans – 2x weekly, effective 1 February 2013
• Tampa – 3x weekly, effective 31 January 2013
• Orlando – 4x weekly

Earlier this month, Fronter began service to another five markets:

• Atlanta – 4x weekly, effective 8 April 2013
• Chicago (Midway) – 6x weekly, effective 8 April 2013
• Columbus – 3x weekly, effective 8 April 2013
• Detroit – 4x weekly, effective 9 April 2013
• Raleigh-Durham – 6x weekly, effective 8 April 2013

Ten days before flights to the new markets began, Frontier announced a two-month suspension of service at Trenton due to runway construction, with flights suspended effective 9 September 2013 and resuming on 8 November 2013.

Today's Featured Map shows all ten markets. The original five leisure markets are green while this month's five additional markets are blue.
