Frontier has been on an expansion kick at the Charlotte airport. That’s changing soon

Frontier Airlines is cutting its nonstop route from Charlotte to Trenton, New Jersey, in August, as part of a plan to drop a number of routes, the company confirmed Wednesday.

The change is coming after the low-fare carrier announced plans to increase services this year at Charlotte Douglas International Airport for passengers.

Frontier’s flights between Charlotte Douglas and Trenton-Mercer Airport north of Philadelphia are ending Aug. 12, spokeswoman Jennifer de la Cruz add told The Charlotte Observer. The airline is implementing some route reductions across its network given the current airline industry supply and demand imbalance.

“We will evaluate individual markets for potential resumption in 2025 based on relevant seasonal performance,” she said about the possibility of the route returning.

Frontier’s flight between Charlotte and New Jersey’s capital city is one of more than 30 routes that will be eliminated, according to Ishrion Aviation, which covers the aviation sector online. The outlet was the first to report about the changes.

Frontier temporary suspended flights for the summer to the 30 or so routes, but they are no longer planned to resume, according to Ishrion Aviation. The outlet also reported that most will end in August while others were supposed to continue this winter. But those flights are now canceled too.

Frontier Airlines in Charlotte

In mid-June, the Denver-based company announced new nonstop flights going to Boston from Charlotte, starting Aug. 13. Before Boston, Frontier started a new route from Charlotte Douglas to Miami in July.

And direct routes to the Cincinnati region began in May.

Frontier announced service to six U.S. cities and a Caribbean destination earlier this year. Those destinations are: New York/LaGuardia; Houston-Bush; Dallas-Forth Worth; Chicago O’Hare; Baltimore-Washington; Buffalo, New York; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

In the midst of expansion announcements, Frontier said it was stopping a route between Charlotte and Las Vegas. In March, industry watchers said the cut was being made because of the airlines having too many flight options to popular vacation destinations like Orlando.

Frontier came to CLT in 2014 and make up less than 1.5% of flights at the airport, according to Charlotte Douglas. It’s another option for passengers for the airport dominated by American Airlines, which accounts for about 87% of all flights out of Charlotte Douglas.
