Downtown airport losing service

Denver-based Frontier Airlines announced Monday it will suspend all operations at the Downtown Mobile Airport in April based on a lack of sufficient demand, a company spokeswoman said. Frontier is the only airline providing flights from the new passenger terminal at the Downtown Mobile Airport at the Mobile Aeroplex. The $8 million terminal opened on May 1 is named “Terminal One” and is inside a 50,000-square-foot building that partially serves as an Airbus logistics center. The Mobile Airport Authority in a news release said the Frontier service will end on April 22, and likely would not return to Mobile any sooner than 2021. The airline is currently providing flights to Denver. Last year, it offered flights to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport before suspending that service on Nov. 13. Mobile is also served by the Mobile Regional Airport west of downtown. (Source: al.com, 01/06/20)
