Frontier Airlines, one of a dozen passenger carriers flying out of Ontario International Airport, will offer nonstop flights from Ontario to El Paso International Airport later this spring.
According to airport officials, the three-times-per-week service to El Paso, which is to begin on May 17, will increase the number of nonstop destinations from the Southern California gateway to 26. Ten of those nonstop flights from Ontario are offered by Frontier Airlines.
Frontier, which already flies from Ontario to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, will increase the frequency of its flights to those destinations. Daily flights to Seattle will begin May 16, while the Houston service will be offered four times a week starting May 17.
“We are thrilled with these new nonstop routes, including our sixth destination in Texas, and look forward to extending our hassle-free Ontario experience to even more Frontier passengers,” said Atif Elkadi, chief executive officer of the Ontario International Airport Authority. “We appreciate the strong partnership with Frontier, and their continued investment in our airport. The Inland Empire has grown to become the 12th largest metropolitan area in the country, and demand for air travel from Ontario International Airport has surged. And let’s remember that Ontario International Airport is California’s favorite airport.”
