“We’re thrilled to provide new low fare service on these routes where people from the Cincinnati area want to fly,” said Josh Flyr, vice president of network and revenue. “The entire Cincinnati area has supported us since we first launched service, and it’s that support that has allowed us to introduce these new routes today.”

Service to LaGuardia now operates daily using 180-seat A320 aircraft. Service to Minneapolis/St. Paul operates four times a week using 150-seat A319 aircraft, according to the airport. Frontier started serving Cincinnati in 2013 with one daily flight to Denver.
