FRONTIER AIRLINES TO TOUCHDOWN IN ANTIGUA ON DEC. 4
Low-Cost Airlines will Operate Weekly Year-Round Service from Orlando
JOHN’S, ANTIGUA (Nov. 2021 ) – Antigua and Barbuda welcome the start of year-round service by Frontier Airlines for the upcoming winter season. The US-based, low-cost carrier will make its inaugural flight to Antigua on Dec. 4. The service will operate once weekly on Saturdays with flights to Antigua’s V.C. Bird International Airport from its base at the Orlando International Airport in Florida. “We’re excited to announce service to V.C. Bird International Airport in Antigua with nonstop flights to Orlando beginning this December,” said Daniel Shurz, senior vice president of commercial, Frontier Airlines. “Our mission is to deliver ‘Low Fares Done Right’ for our customers and we’re confident that this new route will make travel to the island even more accessible and affordable for tourists while at the same time providing an attractive option for local residents wanting to travel to the U.S. We look forward to welcoming passengers on board to enjoy the warm weather and stunning scenery of Antigua and Barbuda and to serving local residents with affordable flights to Orlando and beyond through our extensive U.S. route network.”
Antigua and Barbuda Minister of Tourism The Honourable Charles Fernandez added, “the launch of the new service out of the busy Orlando airport opens up an important gateway to Antigua, with links to major US cities. We can now look forward to meeting the increased demand coming out of the US this winter and from all indications, we can also expect to see more competitive pricing brought on by Frontier Airlines’ affordable rates.” CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority Colin C. James called the airline’s decision, “good news for the industry, good news for Antigua and Barbuda, and a show of confidence in our rebound.” Frontier Airlines will operate an Airbus320-Neo. Introductory fares to Antigua will start from as low as US$99.
