Frontier Opens New Crew Base at Luis Muñoz Marín!

Ultra-low fare carrier Frontier Airlines today celebrated the opening of a new crew base at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU). The base is expected to employ up to 90 pilots and 200 flight attendants within its first year of operation. Combined with airport and maintenance positions, the airline is projected to generate nearly $84 million annually in local wages, with further growth anticipated in the coming years. To celebrate, America’s Greenest Airline is offering fares as low as $29*.

The opening coincides with the launch of 11 new routes from SJU this month, with destinations across the continental U.S. and the Caribbean. Additionally, nonstop service to Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados (BGI) will begin on July 3, 2024, and to Piarco International Airport in Trinidad (POS) on July 11, 2024. With these routes, Frontier will serve a total of 28 destinations from San Juan, more than any other carrier.

“This new crew base underscores just how vital San Juan has become to our operations as we continue to grow our service between Puerto Rico and the U.S. mainland, as well as to other islands in the Caribbean.,” said Barry Biffle, CEO, Frontier Airlines. “As we aim to connect consumers with affordable and convenient travel options and help increase tourism to Puerto Rico, this base will support our growing presence and provide meaningful impact to the local economy. We want to extend our deepest appreciation to the Puerto Rican government and all our tourism and business partners here for making this day possible.”
