Denver-based Frontier Airlines announced Thursday it is starting seasonal summer service to Fairbanks International Airport.
The nonstop flights from Denver will start May 14 and continue four days a week through Sept. 12.
Praising the news is Deb Hickok, president and CEO of the Fairbanks Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Hickok says expanded air service is critical to the growth of Interior Alaska's tourism industry.
Frontier launched seasonal summer service to Anchorage in 2004.
