"Frontier Airlines appears to be readying a knockout blow against its chief rival in the low-cost airfare space by announcing 20 new routes, set to begin later this year. That includes new routes from cities like Detroit, Houston, Baltimore, Fort Lauderdale, Charlotte, and Dallas, with more on the way for 2026. One-way fares for those routes will be as low as $29 (from Baltimore to Houston), and as high as $89 (from Detroit to Cancun)."

As a result, the Company continues to experience challenges and uncertainties in its business operations and expects these trends to continue for at least the remainder of 2025.""
Frontier Airlines announced 20 new routes beginning later this year from cities including Detroit, Houston, Baltimore, Fort Lauderdale, Charlotte, and Dallas, with additional growth planned for 2026. One-way fares for the new routes will range from $29 to $89. The expansion appears positioned to attract customers from Spirit Airlines, which has warned it may not survive the year without additional capital and has experienced weak demand and elevated domestic capacity.
