Low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines has added new nonstop service from Chicago to seven U.S. cities.
The Denver-based airline on Thursday began flying directly from Chicago O'Hare International Airport to Charlotte, N.C.; Kansas City, Mo.; Nashville, Tenn.; Portland, Ore.; St. Augustine, Fla.; Seattle; and Minneapolis.
Service to Nashville operates daily, with service to the other six cities occurring three or four days a week. Frontier spokesman Jim Faulkner said the new direct flights were accommodated with a combination of new planes and nonstop flights to certain other cities, including Tampa, Fla., and Fort Myers, Fla., being dropped.
Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Transportation said airlines were able to stick to their schedules 83.6 percent of the time in February, with Southwest Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines having the best on-time arrival rates among a dozen carriers.
Frontier was the fourth-most punctual in February.
