Frontier Airlines Returning to Fargo

Posted: Updated:

Folks looking to fly out of Fargo's Hector International Airport will have a new option this fall.

Thursday morning airport officials announced Frontier Airlines will return to Fargo with 3 weekly nonstop flights to Denver.

The flights will start November 16. They will fly into Fargo Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights and leave for Denver Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings.

Fargo was one of Frontier's original destination markets, but the airline dropped it's service to and from Fargo in 2010.

FROM NEWS RELEASE:

Frontier Airlines today announced new nonstop service between its Denver, Colo. (DEN), hub and Fargo, N.D. (FAR), with three weekly nonstop flights beginning on Nov. 16, 2012. To celebrate the new service, Frontier is offering fares as low as $99* each way available for purchase through Aug.11, 2012, only at FrontierAirlines.com.

"We are excited to bring back service to Fargo, one of Frontier's original destination markets," said Daniel Shurz, Frontier's senior vice president, commercial. "Fargo-area travelers will enjoy our low fares to Denver and other destinations in the West aboard our comfortable A319 aircraft, featuring DIRECTV® service in every seatback and five rows of STRETCH seating."

"We are pleased to hear Frontier Airlines is returning to Fargo-Moorhead. Business and leisure travelers in our community and surrounding region are delighted to hear the good news," said Shawn A. Dobberstein, A.A.E., executive director of Hector International Airport. "We look forward to enhancing our partnership with Frontier to expand air service opportunities in our market that support our business community and leisure travelers."

Following is the schedule for Frontier's Fargo service:

Denver-Fargo (beginning Nov. 16, 2012) Route	Departs	Arrives	Frequency	Aircraft
DEN-FAR	7:10 p.m.	9:55 p.m.	Mon/Wed/Fri	A319
FAR-DEN	10:00 a.m.	10:55 a.m.	Tues/Thurs/Sat	A319

Frontier last served Fargo in 2010 using a 74-seat regional turboprop aircraft. This new service will instead operate on spacious 138-seat Airbus 319 aircraft, which reduce the flight time and offer more customer amenities, including 30 channels of DIRECTV service available at every seat. Additionally, these flights will offer five rows of comfortable STRETCH seating with an additional five to seven inches of legroom, and the airline's SELECT seating product. This service will be the only full-sized jet service between Fargo and Denver.
