Frontier Airlines Plans Service Expansion

DENVER (AP) -- Frontier Airlines plans to expand its
service in Los Angeles with point-to-point routes to three
other cities.

Later Thursday, Northwest Airlines said it was adding four
new daily flights to Los Angeles from Denver and its
Minneapolis-St. Paul hub. Service will begin on those
routes April 4. The Los Angeles-Denver service is new,
while the flights from the Twin Cities add to Northwest's
existing flights on that route.

The move comes as Denver-based Frontier ahead with
expansion plans to nearly double its fleet and work force
at Denver International Airport by 2008.

The airline will begin offering flights from Los Angeles
International Airport to Kansas City, St. Louis and
Minneapolis/St. Paul. There will not be crews or
maintenance operations based in Los Angeles, spokesman Joe
Hodas said.

The two daily non-stops from Los Angeles to each of the
three cities will begin April 11.

Until now, Frontier passengers had to fly from Los Angeles
to Denver to make a connecting flight. The new flights will
ease crowding on those flights, Hodas said.

Frontier also plans to begin service between Denver and
Washington Dulles International Airport, El Paso, Texas,
and Anchorage, Alaska.

Service to Washington will begin April 11 and seasonal
service to Anchorage will begin May 9. The El Paso flight
will replace a flight that currently goes from Denver to El
Paso via Albuquerque, N.M. It will begin Feb. 8.

Frontier has about 3,800 employees with service to 37
cities in the United States and four in Mexico. It expects
to have 62 aircraft and 6,000 employees by 2008.

Shares of Frontier surged nearly 10 percent Thursday,
closing up $1.28 at $14.68 on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
