Frontier Airlines is Slashing Routes
“Denver-based Frontier cut about 4,000 domestic flights and 800,000 seats from flights between November 2022 and February 2023, according to data aviation company Cirium Inc. The cuts include dropping dozens of seasonal routes entirely, with Florida airports feeling the heaviest effects," according to one report.
With the exception of service to Denver, each of these routes continues to be served by other airlines at PVD, minimizing the impact for travelers.
88% More Direct Flights
With the addition of charter service to the Dominican Republic, Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport now offers 32 nonstop routes via 11 airlines, 88% more than were available just five years ago when PVD offered just 17 non-stop routes from 7 airlines.
