SAN JUAN, P.R. - Ultra-low fare carrier Frontier Airlines (NASDAQ: ULCC) today celebrated the opening of a new crew base at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU). The base is expected to employ up to 90 pilots and 200 flight attendants within its first year of operation. Combined with airport and maintenance positions, the airline is projected to generate nearly $84 million annually in local wages, with further growth anticipated in the coming years. To celebrate, America's Greenest Airline is offering fares as low as $29*.
The opening coincides with the launch of 11 new routes from SJU this month, with destinations across the continental U.S. and the Caribbean. Additionally, nonstop service to Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados (BGI) will begin on July 3, 2024, and to Piarco International Airport in Trinidad (POS) on July 11, 2024. With these routes, Frontier will serve a total of 28 destinations from San Juan, more than any other carrier.
'This new crew base underscores just how vital San Juan has become to our operations as we continue to grow our service between Puerto Rico and the U.S. mainland, as well as to other islands in the Caribbean.,' said Barry Biffle, CEO, Frontier Airlines. 'As we aim to connect consumers with affordable and convenient travel options and help increase tourism to Puerto Rico, this base will support our growing presence and provide meaningful impact to the local economy. We want to extend our deepest appreciation to the Puerto Rican government and all our tourism and business partners here for making this day possible.'

Frontier Airlines recently introduced sweeping changes to its product and customer service offerings, ushering in 'The New Frontier' for the airline. Underscoring its commitment to providing exceptional value and a superior travel experience, 'The New Frontier' provides more transparency through upfront pricing and options to meet various customers' needs and budgets. Through no change or cancellation fees, a 'For Less' Price Guarantee, longer flight credit windows and more, America's Greenest Airline is improving what customers can expect and delivering the best price for their travel needs.
Frontier recently introduced UpFront Plus, a new upgraded seating option with extra leg and elbow room in the first two rows of the aircraft. Customers in UpFront Plus enjoy a window or aisle seat with extra legroom and a guaranteed empty middle seat.
The airline's reimagined, industry-leading frequent flyer program, FRONTIER Miles, enables consumers to 'Get It All For Less.' Customers earn miles fast and get rewarded for each dollar spent on Frontier products. Miles accrue based on dollars spent with a standard 10X multiplier: $1 = 10 miles. Mileage multipliers increase at every elite level up to 20X. Elite status enables members to enjoy benefits like priority boarding, free seat selection, no change or cancel fees when changes are made seven days or more in advance of flight departure, and free bag(s) at Gold, Diamond, and Platinum levels. Like the airline, FRONTIER Miles is family friendly, and the program makes it easy for families to enjoy the rewards together, including family pooling of miles. Joining is free.
