Frontier Airlines is expanding operations at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport by 40% this summer, the airline announced Thursday.
Nine new routes are set to begin in late May and early June.
These routes include Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri; Columbus, Ohio; Ft. Myers, Jacksonville and Palm Beach, Florida; and international routes such as Oranjestad, Aruba, and San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
“As the third-largest airline in Atlanta, Frontier’s investment in this market is a testament to the strength of our airport, our city and our shared vision for continued growth,” said Jan Lennon, Hartsfield-Jackson interim general manager.
“Their expansion aligns seamlessly with Atlanta’s mission of supporting increased connectivity, driving economic impact and ensuring travelers have more options than ever before.
At Hartsfield-Jackson, we don’t just accommodate growth — we prepare for it, we drive it, and we welcome it.”
With expansion in the air comes expansion in the airline’s workforce.
Employment is expected to surpass 1,200 in 2025, and that includes pilots, flight attendants, airport customer service agents, ground handling and maintenance personnel.
“We are thrilled to partner with the leadership at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to significantly grow our operations and bring more low-cost flight options to Atlanta consumers,” said James Dempsey, president of Frontier Airlines.
“Our fares are 60% lower, on average, than other carriers operating from ATL.
“Additionally, we take pride in being part of the Atlanta community by providing meaningful and increasing employment opportunities.”
