Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes announced that for the first time in its 85-year history, Trenton-Mercer Airport will offer international service.
Beginning November, Frontier Airlines is set to offer non-stop service to Nassau, Bahamas.
To celebrate this announcement, Frontier is offering fares starting at $79 each way to Nassau, for tickets purchased through Aug. 23. The special offer, i scheduled to begins at 10 a.m. Aug. 19, is only available through the airline’s website, flyfrontier.com.
Flights begin Nov. 20, with service twice weekly on Thursday and Sunday. The route will be served by a 138-seat Airbus 319.
“The Mercer County region continues to perform for Frontier, and the addition of service to the Bahamas further raises Trenton-Mercer Airport’s profile as a great small airport that frees travelers from the headaches often seen at surrounding metropolitan airports,” Hughes said in a statement.
In fall 2013, Mercer County’s Trenton-Mercer Airport underwent a rapid, multi-million-dollar overhaul, the bulk of it paid for through federal grant dollars, and the airport continues to use federal grant dollars for improvements to its runways and taxiways.
Frontier is the only airline providing scheduled service out of Trenton-Mercer Airport. In addition to Nassau, Frontier offers non-stop service from Trenton-Mercer Airport to Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago-Midway, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Minneapolis, Nashville, Orlando, Raleigh-Durham, St. Augustine, St. Louis, Tampa and West Palm Beach.
