From May 11, Frontier initiated services from ATL to Ontario International Airport (ONT) in California; Santo Domingo Las Americas International Airport (SDQ) in the Dominican Republic; and San Diego International Airport (SAN). The ONT and SAN routes will have daily flights, while the SDQ route will run twice a week.
Starting May 12, Frontier is rolling out a twice-weekly service connecting ATL with Guatemala City's La Aurora International Airport (GUA), and a thrice-weekly flight connecting ATL with Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC).
Delta Air Lines, headquartered in Atlanta, held a dominant market share of more than 75% at the airport as of January. During the same month, Frontier accounted for 3.04% of ATL's passenger capacity. Apart from Delta, only Southwest Airlines (7.38%) and Spirit Airlines (3.16%) boasted a larger share. Frontier, which exclusively operates Airbus A320-family aircraft, established a crew base at ATL in 2021, employing around 400 personnel.
All of Frontier's new routes, which are also serviced by Delta, augment the Denver-based airline's list of nonstop ATL destinations to 38.
Frontier's Senior Vice President for Commercial, Daniel Shurz, expressed the airline's enthusiasm for the growth in a statement. "Atlanta is one of our fastest-growing markets and serves as a large international gateway for Frontier,” he said. "Connecting Atlanta to Guatemala City and Santo Domingo, while continuing to expand our domestic options, is all part of a significant growth push at ATL that underscores our robust commitment to Atlanta.”
