Frontier Airlines to drop nonstop Tucson-Denver flights this summer

Frontier Airlines recently announced it will be dropping its nonstop flights to Denver from Tucson this summer. However, Frontier Airlines flights between these two destinations are expected to be resumed with seasonal fall and winter service.

The airline’s last flight to the Mile High City until fall will depart on May 16, 2012. The airline had been offering service to Denver from Tucson since 2002. Earlier, the airline was operating two daily flights, but later on dropped one flight in mid-April.

Though Frontier Airlines has dropped Tucson-Denver flights, the travelers from Tucson still have 6 daily nonstop flights to Denver to choose from. United Airlines is offering four flights, while Southwest Airlines is offering two flights here.

Frontier Airlines’ spokeswoman Lindsey Carpenter said that the airline is switching the Tucson flights to seasonal service because the flights weren’t sustainably profitable over the summer months, but have performed well in the other months.
