Frontier Airlines has announced that it will open a flight crew base at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). The base will open in May 2023, bringing 120 pilots and 220 flight attendants. The airline expects the base to provide more than $78 million per year in wages. The new domicile will be accompanied by increased routes serviced from DFW.
The Denver-based air carrier plans to double its presence at DFW over the next five years. It currently operates flights to 14 destinations from the Texas airport. The ultra-low-cost carrier plans to add five more destinations in Spring 2023. The additional routes will bring the total number of destinations it services from the airport to 19.
