Frontier executives joined county officials at Trenton-Mercer Airport to make the announcement this morning.  The Denver-based airline also announced that it will base an Airbus A319 aircraft at the airport to operate the new service.

“Frontier is the right partner at the right time. We are confident the traveling public will embrace these new destinations, and as a result, the Mercer County economy will get an added boost,"  Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes said.
