Frontier Airlines has opened a new crew base at Luis Munoz Marin 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.
""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 US mainland, as well as to other islands in the Caribbean,"" said Frontier Airlines CEO Barry Biffle. ""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.""
