Frontier returns to George Bush Intercontinental Airport

From July 11, Frontier Airlines is moving its Houston operations from William P. Hobby Airport back to George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
"We're confident that Frontier customers will appreciate the convenience and increased flexibility when we move back to Houston's primary airport," said David Siegel, president and chief executive officer of Frontier. "In particular, the great connection opportunities that Bush Intercontinental offers will provide our passengers with additional travel choices."
Located 23 miles north of downtown Houston, Bush Intercontinental offers the most flights of any Houston-area airport - including nonstop service to Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America on Frontier's interline partners.
Following are schedules for the service that Frontier will operate after the move:

Five rows of STRETCH seating, offering an additional 5 to 7 inches of legroom, and the airline's new SELECT seating product will be available on every flight.
"Frontier Airlines has experienced strong growth of more than 6% in the Houston market since 2008," said Ian Wadsworth, Houston Airports chief commercial officer. "We welcome Frontier back to George Bush Intercontinental Airport and hope the growth will continue on nonstop service to Denver."
