Frontier announces new St. Petersburg/Clearwater service
Frontier Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RJET), today announced it will move its seasonal service between Milwaukee and Tampa International Airport (TPA) to the St. Petersburg/Clearwater International Airport (PIE) beginning Nov. 18, 2010.

Passengers already booked on flights between Milwaukee and Tampa will be moved to St. Petersburg/Clearwater and will be contacted with their new itineraries. The St. Petersburg/Clearwater airport is located about 12 miles from the Tampa airport.

Introductory fares for this new route will be available for a limited time at $89 one-way and can be purchased beginning Sunday, Sept. 5, 2010, at FrontierAirlines.com/introfares.

“The move to the St. Petersburg/Clearwater airport supports Frontier’s effort to provide our guests with convenient and affordable air travel,” said Daniel Shurz, vice president of strategy and planning. “With easy access to the gorgeous beaches, our guests can start their vacation as soon as they arrive. In addition, guests flying out of the St. Petersburg/Clearwater airport will now enjoy nonstop access to two Frontier destinations with connections to our more than 70 destinations across the United States, Mexico and Costa Rica.”

In addition to the Milwaukee service, Frontier also announced seasonal nonstop service between St. Petersburg/Clearwater and Omaha (OMA) beginning Jan. 16, 2011.
