Frontier Airlines has announced it will open a new crew base at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) in March of 2024.

The base is expected to employ up to 110 pilots, 250 flight attendants, and 50 aircraft maintenance personnel within its first year of operation. Combined with airport positions, the airline is expected to generate nearly $80 million annually in local wages with further growth anticipated in the coming years.

Frontier is the fastest growing carrier at CLE, having increased passenger capacity by 53 percent over the past year. The airline currently offers 17 nonstop routes from CLE, more than any other carrier this winter.
