Frontier Airlines announces introductory Branson rates

Frontier Airlines, the newest air carrier to the private Branson Airport, announced its introductory fares Monday.

Frontier customers will be able to fly from Branson direct to Denver beginning April 20 for $79 each way. One-stop flights from Branson to 50 other airports are available starting at $89.

The airport announced earlier this month that passengers will be able to fly to Denver International Airport four days a week aboard Embraer E190 aircraft that seat 99 people.

AirTran Airways currently offers direct service from the Branson airport to Atlanta and Orlando, Fla., and airport officials have said they are hopeful that Sun Country Airlines will resume its service into and out of Minneapolis from the Branson airport in the spring.
