After nearly a decade hiatus, Frontier Airlines on Thursday returned to Bradley International Airport with direct flights to Denver International Airport.
The low-cost Colorado carrier celebrated the Bradley-to-Denver flight on Thursday afternoon after pulling the service in Sept. 2008. Frontier two years later returned to Bradley with Milwaukee runs as a subsidiary of Indianapolis-based Republic Airways, but that route was also cancelled in 2011.
Flights from Denver to Bradley will operate three days a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Flights start at $59 for a limited time.
The new non-stop service from Bradley, which is ranked the country’s third best airport, is part of a recent wave of new flights at the Windsor Locks airfield, including new routes to North Carolina, Florida and Pennsylvania beginning this summer.
CAA has also said it’s looking to add other flights to Nashville, Austin, Jacksonville, Milwaukee, Seattle and Jamaica this year, in addition to a potential name change.
The airport overseers are also trying to grow operations at other airfields across the state, including at the Tweed-New Haven Airport, Hartford-Brainard Airport and Groton-New London Airport.
