Frontier to Expand Service from LAX

AIRLINES

Frontier Airlines, a discount carrier based in Denver, said it planned to make Los Angeles its second “focus city” by launching service from Los Angeles International Airport to three additional cities -- St. Louis, Minneapolis and Kansas City, Mo. -- on April 11.

The carrier already has six daily flights from LAX to Denver, and it also provides service to Denver from Orange County, Ontario and San Diego.

Hours after Frontier’s announcement, Minneapolis-based Northwest Airlines announced plans to start two daily flights from LAX to Denver and two additional flights from LAX to Minneapolis starting April 4. And on the Los Angeles-St. Louis route, AMR Corp.’s American Airlines said it added a fourth daily flight between the two cities.
