Great news for Aspen, CO visitors and locals! Frontier Airlines announced today through StayAspenSnowmass that it will continue to serve the Aspen, CO market with its Q400 aircraft. The carrier will operate one daily roundtrip flight between April 18 and June 5, 2011, at which point Frontier will increase summer service to four daily roundtrip flights. “In the midst of a great winter season in the market, we are very pleased to continue serving the Aspen community,” said Daniel Shurz,VP of Strategy and Planning. “In addition to providing our guests convenient access to this top travel destination, we are just as pleased to continue serving the Aspen community with Frontier’s affordable non-stop service to Denver. Frontier intended to suspend service to Aspen, CO in April 2011, when it planned to remove the remaining Q400 aircraft from its fleet. After making some changes to its fleet plan for the upcoming year the carrier decided to keep the remaining unsold Q400s and continue its popular Aspen service. Thanks Frontier! Hopefully with United and Frontier serving Sardy Field in Aspen, this will make getting here even easier and more affordable. I hope to see you back in Aspen soon! CK
