Jacksonville airport adds new flights

Frontier Airlines announced Tuesday that will offer seasonal flights to Chicago-O'Hare and Philadelphia from Jacksonville International Airport next year.

The low-fare carrier announced previously that it would also offer flights to Denver and Cincinnati from JIA. Fares will start at $39.

“We are excited to expand our commitment to the Jacksonville community with more low cost flight options,” said Tyri Squyres, vice president of marketing for Frontier Airlines.

Flights to Chicago and Cincinnati will be offered three days a week, and flights to Denver and Philadelphia will be offered four days a week. Flights to Denver and Philadelphia will begin Feb. 14, to Cincinnati Apr. 8 and to Chicago May 10. Tickets are available now.

“Frontier’s arrival at JAX means more low fares for Northeast Florida travelers,” Jacksonville Aviation Authority CEO Steve Grossman said. “Today’s announcement also provides our travelers with more choices when they fly.”
