Though Denver-based Frontier (NASDAQ: FRNT - News) already provides service to seven resort cities in Mexico, the new Guadalajara flights will be its first foray into central Mexico. The airline anticipates a high demand for flights to Guadalajara and has scheduled over 30 connections linking it to cities throughout the United States -- as far north as Seattle, east to Detroit and to several dozen destinations in the West and Midwest.

Frontier said in a statement it expects the new Guadalajara route to be well-received by the Latino community in Denver and connecting markets. With a population of over three million, Guadalajara is Mexico's second largest city.

Currently in its 13th year, Frontier Airlines is the second-largest airline at Denver International Airport.
