Snohomish County Welcomes Frontier Airlines to Paine Field Airport

In June, Frontier Airlines will commence direct flights from Paine Field Airport to Denver, Las Vegas, and Phoenix, marking a significant enhancement to local air travel options. Joshua Marcy, Director of Paine Field Airport, expressed optimism regarding Frontier's potential success and growth within the Puget Sound market. This new service is expected to alleviate regional travel pressures, lighten traffic congestion on major roadways, and save time for local travelers. Chris Guizlo, Communications Director for the Port of Seattle, highlighted the importance of such developments in bolstering the region's economic strength and addressing the increasing demand for travel. Paine Field Airport has a long-standing history, contributing approximately $60 billion annually to the local economy and supporting over 158,000 jobs, including 46,000 direct positions.

The airport is well-equipped with modern aviation facilities, including a FAA tower and Part 139 certification, ensuring high-quality service for travelers. Recent expansions, such as the addition of a new 737 assembly line by Boeing, further underscore the airport's pivotal role in the aviation sector. As the local travel market continues to grow, the addition of Frontier Airlines is a promising step towards improving accessibility and choice for residents.
