The network shakeup continues at Frontier Airlines. The Denver-based ultra-low-cost carrier unveiled nearly a dozen new routes Tuesday, each of which will launch this fall.
Among the new routes are the carrier's fourth and fifth nonstop destinations from New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). Prior to this summer, the carrier had never served this airport.
Frontier is also returning to Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) for the first time since last year and to Dulles International Airport (IAD) outside Washington, D.C., for the first time since 2021.

In all, the carrier's latest network adjustment affects 15 cities across the country.
It's the latest in a monthslong overhaul during which Frontier has embarked on an effort to boost profitability.
After adding well over 100 new routes so far earlier this year and eliminating dozens more, the carrier is shifting its fall schedule to primarily focus on the busiest days of the week for leisure travel — including deep cuts to its Tuesday and Wednesday flying.
Even with reductions in overall midweek flying, many of the new routes announced this week do include either daily service or several weekly round trips, including on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
The carrier did not make any cuts in conjunction with Tuesday's announcement, a Frontier spokesperson told TPG.
Here's the full rundown of Frontier's 11 new routes:
Though Frontier doesn't fly any of these 11 routes currently, the carrier has flown a number of them in the past, as noted above. In several cases, Frontier last operated the nonstop service in 2022 or earlier.
With the exception of Cincinnati-to-Sarasota, each of these new routes touches a major hub of the "Big Three" U.S. network carriers. This aligns with a strategy Frontier deployed this year that focuses less on stalwart leisure travel destinations and more on travelers flying between big cities to visit friends and relatives.
With respect to the Washington, D.C., region, Frontier has been absent from Dulles in recent years; the carrier already serves Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI).
Meanwhile, this latest route announcement continues the carrier's fast growth in 2024 at ATL — the world's busiest airport — and in CVG, where it recently established a crew base.
