Frontier will have a total of 20 nonstop destinations at RDU and 112 weekly flights when its seasonal flights to Chicago and Houston launch this summer.
Josh Flyr, Vice President of Network and Operational Design at F9 says the airline "offers the most expansive array of low-cost, convenient nonstop flight options from RDU and we are pleased to expand our offerings even further with new services to Chicago and Houston."
Flyr adds, "With our largest-ever number of departures from RDU this summer, we are strongly committed to providing the Raleigh-Durham community with ‘Low Fares Done Right’ to a wide variety of popular U.S. destinations."
