Frontier to Launch New Cancun Routes to Three US Cities in 2026

Frontier Airlines will add three new nonstop routes between Cancun and US cities as part of an expansion that includes 23 network additions scheduled to begin in spring 2026. The airline confirmed that the new services will operate to Charlotte, Chicago Midway, and Raleigh-Durham, each launching during the first week of March 2026.

Frontier said the first route, Cancun–Charlotte, will begin March 6 with three weekly flights. The airline will introduce a weekly Cancun–Chicago Midway service on March 7 and, on the same day, launch a weekly Cancun–Raleigh-Durham flight. The introductory fare for each route will be US$99.

Josh Flyr, Frontier’s vice president of network design and operations, said the 2026 expansion aligns with the airline’s broader network strategy. “As we look toward 2026, there is much to anticipate — from the expansion of our network to the introduction of our new First Class seats and more,” he said. Flyr added that the airline is “pleased to begin with the announcement of these new routes, offering travelers more accessible options as they plan next year’s spring vacations.”

Frontier identified Cancun as one of its highest-traffic international markets. According to airline data, 10 of Frontier’s 20 busiest international routes currently involve the destination. The most active route in the segment is Cancun–Philadelphia, which operates 62 flights per month, offering nearly 14,500 seats and generating more than 21 million available seat miles (ASM).

The new Cancun routes follow an earlier announcement in October that Frontier will begin operating a new Atlanta–Puerto Vallarta service on Dec. 20, adding to existing flights from the Pacific destination to Denver and Dallas. Frontier said the additional service will strengthen its broader connectivity with Mexico.
