Frontier Airlines will designate Miami as a base in March, and within three months of that time the airport will be home to 100 Frontier flight attendants and 30 Frontier pilots.
The discount carrier will add eight new routes from Miami between April and June, bringing its total count from the city to 22.
Frontier is also expanding in Newark, offering nine new routes this spring, bringing its Newark total to 15. From Ontario, Calif., Frontier will fly five new routes, bringing its Ontario total to eight.
This spring, Frontier will begin serving Santo Domingo and Santiago in the Dominican Republic as well Guatemala City and San Salvador.
The discount carrier unveiled the four Latin American destinations as part of a 25-route announcement Wednesday.
The carrier’s planned launch of El Salvador and Guatemala City service will mark a return to Central America for Frontier, which pulled out of its two lone previous routes, both to Costa Rica, in 2015. Starting in June, Frontier will serve El Salvador seasonally from San Juan, Baltimore and Ontario, Calif., plus year-round from Miami. May will mark the beginning of year-round Miami-Guatemala City service and seasonal Ontario-Guatemala City flights.
Frontier will debut in Santo Domingo on March 10 with seasonal thrice-weekly flights from Newark, then add Miami and Baltimore service in April.
From Santiago, Frontier will launch thrice-weekly seasonal Newark service on May 28.
The remainder of the 25 routes the carrier announced will also begin as seasonal. The routes are 100% growth, as no service is being discontinued to facilitate them, the airline said.
Within the U.S, the additions focus most heavily on Miami, Newark and Ontario.
