Frontier Airlines is adding two new routes from DFW International Airport to the southeast U.S., the airline said Tuesday.
The Denver-based carrier will begin flying three times per week to Florida’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Nov. 20. Beginning Feb. 13, 2026, the carrier will fly twice per week from DFW to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
The DFW expansion is part of a larger effort by Frontier, which said it was adding 20 new routes nationwide in its quest to solidify itself as the top budget carrier in the country’s 20 largest metro areas.
In addition to DFW Airport, Frontier is bulking up its schedule from Baltimore/Washington International Airport, Charlotte International Airport, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, Fort Lauderdale and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Frontier said it is also adding flights to international destinations such as Cancun, El Salvador and Honduras.
Frontier has added five new routes from DFW within the last month. In July, the carrier announced it would begin flying from DFW to Tucson, Ariz., Charleston, S.C., and Texas’ El Paso International Airport starting in October, also part of a larger nationwide expansion.
By October, Frontier will fly 37 nonstop routes from DFW and be the airport’s fourth-largest carrier by seat volume — behind only American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines, according to a previous report from The Dallas Morning News. The carrier has grown at DFW the last three years; in October 2022 it had just 12 nonstop routes at the airport, The News reported.
After Frontier reported a net loss of $70 million in the second quarter of 2025, the airline’s CEO, Barry Biffle, expressed that improvements in supply and demand, as well as the carrier’s commercial initiatives, could set the foundation for profitability in 2026.
“Frontier is not just about delivering low fares - we’ve made major enhancements, from product upgrades to the most rewarding loyalty program, and investments in technology and service, as part of The New Frontier,” Biffle said in a statement Tuesday. “That’s why Frontier is America’s Low Fare Airline, delivering the best value every day. As industry capacity adjusts, we want to ensure consumers in those markets continue to have affordable flight options.”
