Overview
- Frontier said Thursday it will launch nonstop service from Orlando International Airport to Medellín, Bogotá and Cartagena with December 2026 start dates if regulators clear the routes.
- The carrier published schedules that show Medellín starting Dec. 10 as a daily flight, Bogotá starting Dec. 14 at six weekly frequencies rising to daily on March 6, 2027, and Cartagena starting Dec. 19 with one weekly flight.
- Introductory one-way fares were posted at $99 to Bogotá, $169 to Medellín and $129 to Cartagena, though Frontier notes prices and availability are restricted and can change.
- The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority backed the expansion as strengthening Colombia connectivity, but all operations remain conditional on approvals from Colombian and other aviation authorities.
- The move follows Spirit Airlines’ collapse earlier this year and represents a measured effort by Frontier to pick up capacity left by Spirit, while analysts say any effect on Walt Disney World crowds is uncertain and will only be clear after service begins.
