MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) – Frontier Airlines launched its new daily nonstop service from Milwaukee County’s General Mitchell International Airport to Miami International Airport with a celebration Thursday morning.

“As we get closer to winter, many travelers ensure their beach vacations are planned, and these new flights from Frontier give our community great access to Miami,” County Executive Chris Abele said. “I’m confident that Frontier will be successful in this market. Many cruise ships depart from Miami, and South Beach is a dynamic year-round destination.”

“Today we introduce a new, more affordable way to travel for the Milwaukee community,” said Tim Polgar, Director of Ground Handling Contracts – Frontier Airlines. “We’re offering not only amazing low fares, but a reliable and friendly service that allows customers to customize their travel experience to their needs and their budget. This empowers more people than ever before to fly. This is what our Low Fares Done Right philosophy is all about.”

Frontier’s string of new Milwaukee flights continues with Tampa starting up on November 10 and increased daily service to Fort Myers beginning December 10.

Frontier’s ultra-low fares are only available online at flyfrontier.com. In addition to the new service to Miami, Frontier also offers nonstop service from MKE to Denver, Las Vegas, Orlando and Phoenix.
