Spring is in the air.
Wait, what? It’s not even Christmas yet! Well, there is something called “planning ahead” and that’s what the folks at Frontier Airlines are accomplishing with their Dec. 4 announcement about a new route coming to Fort Myers.
Frontier announced new nonstop service from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) to Indianapolis International Airport (IND), launching in March for spring break travel.
According to a press release from the company, with the new route, operating twice per week for a limited time, Frontier will serve 11 destinations nonstop from RSW. The service starts March 27, 2026.
To celebrate, America’s Low Fare Airline is offering fares starting at $79. Frequency and times are subject to change. Please check www.flyfrontier.com for additional details.
What they are saying: Frontier’s new route at RSW
“There’s a lot to be excited about as we head into 2026 − from expanding our network to rolling out our new First Class experience – and we’re thrilled to offer even more affordable flight options to Southwest Florida consumers and to tourists visiting the Sunshine State for spring break as we continue to grow,” said Josh Flyr, vice president of network and operations design at Frontier Airlines.
This news from Frontier comes after it was announced earlier this week that JetBlue would be adding routes to and from Fort Myers for Buffalo and Long Island, N.Y.
RSW’s busiest months of the year come in the first quarter with March and April traditionally seeing the most travelers passing through the Fort Myers airport.
It’s a combination of spring break, Major League Baseball’s spring training and some of the best weather in the country that brings people here in droves.
Last March RSW counted 1,463,628 passengers and there were 1,178,980 in April 2024.
