Frontier Airlines announced that it will be discontinuing service at Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport. The City of Wichita said in a release Friday that the airline intended to resume flights to Las Vegas from Wichita on April 1, but has canceled those plans. Frontier said the decision follows a shortage of aircraft. Frontier hopes to bring service back to Wichita. “We certainly are disappointed that Frontier is leaving, especially now that passenger demand is increasing and more seats are needed. There are opportunities for Frontier in this market and we hope to bring them back,” said Valerie Wise, ICT air service and marketing manager. Frontier began service to Denver in August 2018, causing fares to drop 29%, the release said During the pandemic, Southwest began flying to Denver in September 2020. United also flies nonstop to Denver, causing an abundance of capacity. Frontier began Las Vegas service in March 2021 and eventually ended the Denver service in September 2021.
