Key Takeaways:

  • Frontier Airlines is launching its inaugural service to South America, connecting Orlando, Florida, with three Colombian cities: Medellín, Bogotá, and Cartagena.
  • Flights will commence in December, aiming to fulfill an unmet demand for low-cost travel on these routes, which were previously served by the now-closed Spirit Airlines.

Frontier is entering a new market in South America.

Starting in December, the carrier will connect Orlando, Florida, with three destinations in Colombia.

Flights to Medellín will launch first, on Dec. 10, and operate daily.

The following week, on Dec. 14, Frontier will begin service to Bogotá. Flights will initially operate six times per week before ramping up to daily on March 6, 2027.

Service to Cartagena, on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, will come online Dec. 19. Flights will operate weekly.

“This is an exciting day for Frontier and for travelers as we announce our first-ever service to South America,” Tyri Squyres, vice president of public and consumer affairs at Frontier, said in a news release. “We believe there is strong, unmet demand for low-cost travel between Orlando and Colombia, and we look forward to offering affordable flight options between these two magnificent destinations.”

Frontier currently offers service to destinations in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, but has never flown to South America.

All three of the new routes were formerly operated by the now-shuttered Spirit Airlines.
