discount carrier Border Airlines is beefing up service in New York, planning new nonstop routes to major american airlines centers with rates from less than $20.
The airline plans to launch service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Miami International Airport on March 30.
A roundtrip flight that departed April 1 and returned a week later was listed as $38 on Frontier’s website for a basic ticket, which does not include a seat assignment or carry-on bag and is non-refundable. The same trip on those dates on American, which includes a carry-on bag and a non-alcoholic drink and snack, cost $142.
Frontier has a base in Miami, but the airport is dominated by Americans.
Frontier will also launch flights between New York’s Kennedy Airport and Dallas/Fort Worth four times a week, starting April 22.
On May 1, it plans to begin daily nonstop flights between JFK and Los Angeles International Airport.
Frontier has less than 1% market share of the capacity of the three major airports serving the New York City area, according to analytics firm Cirium.
It launched JFK service last June and with this spring’s additions, it will have eight flights from the airport.
Frontier has been optimistic about its expansion and said it plans to return to double-digit profit margins by mid-2025. Shares of the ultra-low-cost airline have risen 17% since the beginning of the year, and it raised its outlook for the fourth quarter from a break-even point to a pre-tax margin of 4%.
