Airline also increases frequency on existing route to Fort Myers
MILWAUKEE (July 18, 2017) – Frontier Airlines will launch new daily nonstop service from Milwaukee County’s General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) to both Miami International Airport and Tampa International Airport beginning this fall.
“Miami is one of the largest remaining markets that lacks nonstop service from MKE, and travelers from Wisconsin and northern Illinois now have another option for their leisure and business travel needs to the Sunshine State,” County Executive Chris Abele said. “Frontier’s growing network from MKE is welcome news. Whether you’re traveling to the east or west coast of Florida, this new daily service has you covered.”
The new daily nonstop flights to Miami begin on October 5, while the new Tampa nonstops start on November 10. The increased daily service to Fort Myers begins on December 10.
“With today’s announcement, Frontier now offers our Low Fares Done Right service to eight destinations from MKE,” said Jim Faulkner, chief spokesman – Frontier Airlines. “Customers traveling from Milwaukee now have a new significantly lower-cost option to reach these great destinations.”
Introductory sale fares start at just $34, and are only available online at flyfrontier.com. The new service will be operated with full-size Airbus aircraft, featuring both standard and stretch seating.
In addition to the new and increased service to Miami, Tampa and Fort Myers, Frontier also offers nonstop service from MKE to Dallas/Ft. Worth, Denver, Las Vegas, Orlando, Philadelphia, and Phoenix.
Mitchell Airport offers nonstop flights to 45 destinations coast-to-coast, and 160 international destinations are available from Milwaukee with just one connection. MKE is also served by Air Canada, Alaska, Allegiant, American, Delta, OneJet, Southwest, United and Volaris. The nonstop cities map can be found at www.mitchellairport.com.
