Low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines will add a fifth nonstop route at Bradley International Airport later this spring offering service to Atlanta, as the state’s largest airport sees more signs of air travel taking the first steps to recovery.
“We’re still down 60% from where we were pre-pandemic, but over the past few weeks we’ve seen some light at the end of the tunnel,” Kevin A. Dillon, executive director of Connecticut Airport Authority, said Tuesday after Frontier’s announcement. “People are feeling more comfortable about travel.”
Dillon said he expects more sit-down restaurant and other amenities — many that have been closed since the start of the pandemic — to begin reopening this month.
