Circa 2019: (Pre-COVID....)

https://news.miami-airport.com/front...m-mia-in-2020/

Quote:

(Miami, December 19, 2019) – On December 18, low-fare carrier Frontier Airlines announced the establishment of a new 130-employee crew base and eight additional routes at Miami International Airport in 2020, including first-time international service for the airline from MIA. The new routes to Austin; Baltimore; San Salvador, El Salvador; Guatemala City, Guatemala; Islip, New York; Ontario, Calif.; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; and Trenton, N.J. – all commencing between April and June of 2020 - will expand Frontier’s service to 22 nonstop destinations from MIA.

Looks like they had 14 cities prior to the announcement, with 8 added, to make 22 destinations. Again, pre-COVID. Not sure how gun-shy Barry and company is now, but 20 always seemed to be the happy spot for the prior bases, to include DFW.

I'd be more curious if their plans have changed with the possible gates/slots from the JB/NK divesture agreement.

You’re right this was all pre-Covid AND pre-attempted merger, I assume they would’ve tried a co-domicile with FLL had the merger gone through (I think the FAs already have that). We still have a fair amount of FLL flying too so I don’t rule that out in the future. I don’t see MIA going away but I don’t see it doing much else until the BK/NK merger details are finalized and we decide where our assets need to go.

....To celebrate the occasion, America’s Greenest Airline is offering fares from DFW starting at $39*. Service to new destinations, which started this month, include Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ), San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU), Cleveland (CLE), and New York LaGuardia (LGA). With the new service, Frontier will serve 21 destinations from DFW, making Frontier the airport’s third largest carrier based on destinations served.

again "20 destinations rule" in play. I might modify this to say "with new cities considered in the total, 20 destinations as a minimum"

which means CVG indeed is in play

CVG would be huge for a lot of people... CLE, not so much. At least for what I know, it would bring at least 2-3 people I know up there. If we ever see ORD/MDW again, It would make my life so much better and so many other people's as well. Even if they add 60 slots back into DEN.

Right now they shrunk DEN and closed ORD and it just ruined a lot of other bases because super senior people are scattered around now.
