How UAE defence giant EDGE Group plans to double its exports
The UAE defence conglomerate has put an aggressive strategy in place to increase its share of exports while navigating the growing gap between East and West.
New services in Frontier?s summer schedule
Frontier Airlines has announced its summer 2010 schedule with the addition of seven new destinations from its Denver International Airport (DEN) hub, increased frequencies to four popular destinations and expansion of the seasonal service between Denver and Fort Myers to year-round.
The new service includes new nonstop service to Branson, MO; Grand Rapids, MI; Long Beach, CA; Madison, WI; Newport News-Williamsburg, VA; Santa Barbara, CA; and seasonal nonstop service to Green Bay, WI. In addition, Frontier will add a third daily frequency to New York LaGuardia on 19 April and a fifth daily frequency to Portland, OR; San Francisco; and Seattle/Tacoma on 14 May for the peak summer travel period.
In addition, from 19 April, all service between Denver and Albuquerque, Oklahoma City, Omaha and Salt Lake City will be provided by jet aircraft, including Embraer 170s and 190s and Airbus A320 family aeroplanes, increasing capacity and reducing journey times.
“This is a very exciting day for Frontier Airlines as we continue to show our strong commitment to Denver,” said Daniel Shurz, Frontier’s vice-president of planning and strategy. “With the delivery of three new Airbus A320s and additional E-190s this spring we are able to expand our service to new and underserved markets out of Denver, as well as increase frequencies in several of our popular markets. Customers in our seven new markets can now look forward to Frontier’s excellent customer service and affordable fares as they travel to Denver and beyond.”
