“The expansion shows that our post-pandemic recovery continues and these ultra low-cost fares will expand market reach and help make travel possible for many more travelers – both Philadelphians who want to explore new destinations and visitors who want to come and experience the great restaurants, amenities and events that Philadelphia has to offer,” Atif Saeed, CEO of Philadelphia's Department of Aviation, said in a statement.

With the new routes, Frontier will serve a total of 39 destinations from PHL and operate an average 44 daily departures this summer.

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Frontier Airlines operates 134 A320 family aircraft and has the largest A320neo family fleet in the Americas, serving approximately 120 destinations in the U.S., Caribbean, Mexico and Central America, according to the company's website.
