Frontier Airlines to Resume Louisiana Service

DENVER -- Frontier Airlines said Wednesday it will begin nonstop service to Baton Rouge, La., nearly two years after Hurricane Katrina forced the carrier to cancel its only Louisiana flights.

The Denver-based carrier said two daily round-trip flights will travel between Denver International Airport and Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport beginning Aug. 15.

Frontier Airlines Holdings Inc., which operates a hub at the Denver airport, canceled its New Orleans service in the fall of 2005 because of hurricane damage and began looking for alternate cities to serve in Louisiana.

Frontier shares rose 12 cents, or 2 percent, to close at $6.18 on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
