Snohomish County's Paine Field Airport is broadening its horizons with Frontier Airlines now onboard. Direct flights to Denver, Las Vegas, and Phoenix are slated to take off starting June 2, making the hop to 10 cities directly from this airport a breeze.
It's clear from Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers' enthusiasm that this partnership is a cause for celebration. "This is another great day for Snohomish County as we welcome Frontier Airlines to Paine Field," Somers expressed. Frontier's budget-friendly fares are already grabbing attention, with their promotional rates making the news. For the community, this translates to jobs, convenience, and one more reason to skip the drive to Sea-Tac, according to Snohomish County Council Chair Nate Nehring.
Snohomish County's formal announcement reveals that Denver-based Frontier is not just expanding travel choices but also bolstering the local economy. Paine Field already plays a critical role in the region with its $60 billion annual economic impact. The introduction of Frontier spells more growth and job opportunities.
Joshua Marcy, Director of Paine Field Airport, sums it up with a dose of optimism for the future. "Any day you can welcome a new airline to your community is a good one," Marcy told Snohomish County. With Paine Field's status as a crucial hub for transportation and manufacturing, the arrival of Frontier only amplifies its significance in the Pacific Northwest.
What's good for Paine Field is good for the region. The Port of Seattle echoes this sentiment, highlighting the positive effects of expanded services for the entire Puget Sound market. Chris Guizlo, Communications Director with the Port of Seattle, shared his support for the developments, touting the collaboration between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Paine Field as key to the region's economic strength.
