Frontier Airlines has announced its new nonstop seasonal service between Denver (DEN) and Punta Cana (PUJ) starting 9 June and continuing until 4 August 2012. The non-stop flights will operate on Saturdays.
“With the launch of service to Punta Cana, Frontier will be the only carrier offering nonstop service from Denver to the Dominican Republic,” said David Siegel, president and chief executive officer of Frontier. “We’re confident that travelers will love our low-fare, customer-pleasing service on their travels to this beautiful and popular destination.”

Members of Frontier’s EarlyReturns frequent flyer program can earn double miles for every qualifying flight they take on the new Punta Cana route.
“Frontier’s new service announcement is good indication of the airline’s continued commitment to the Denver market,” said Kim Day, aviation manager at Denver International Airport. “This new route will be the first nonstop flight from Denver to the Caribbean and will open Colorado’s doors to a new country. Growing international service is one of our top priorities at DIA and we’re excited to add the Dominican Republic to the list of destinations we serve.”
