Fontier Airlines announced it will add three non-stop flights each week from its hub in Denver, Colorado to Sioux City. Airport director, Curt Miller, says you can start booking the flights now that begin in June. He says the first flight into Sioux City will be June 12, with the first flight back to Denver will be in the morning on June 13th.

Miller says Frontier will use a larger jet for these flights. “They’re flying Airbus 319 aircraft, which is about 138-seat jet aircraft. So it is a larger jet than we’ve had here for awhile,” Miller says. “But again, they are doing three flights a week, so that gives us  quite a bit of capacity for people who want to go west.”

Frontier is celebrating the new service by offering flights as low as 49-dollars each way for flights booked through February 26th.

Frontier last provided air service to Sioux City between 2007 and 2008. Find out more about the flights at: www.FlyFrontier.com.
