Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele announced the launch of new Frontier Airlines nonstop service to Phoenix. Passengers on the inaugural flight enjoyed a ribbon-cutting celebration in the gate area and sunshine-themed cookies provided by Mitchell Airport (MKE).
“Frontier’s growth here is a result of passengers choosing MKE as their starting point. We encourage Milwaukee and Illinois-area travelers to continue using MKE instead of the inconvenient airports in Chicago,” County Executive Chris Abele said. “Airlines like Frontier respond to increased demand in key markets like Phoenix. This is a great example of how MKE succeeds when travelers choose their hometown airport for all of their travel.”
Frontier’s new flights to Phoenix operate every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Frontier’s winter schedule includes nonstops from MKE to Denver, Fort Myers, Las Vegas, Orlando, and Phoenix. Earlier this year, Frontier offered summer seasonal service to Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth and Philadelphia.
