BLOOMINGTON — Frontier Airlines will begin using larger aircraft on its Bloomington-to-Denver route, starting Jan. 7, 2013.
The airline will begin using 138-seat Airbus 319 planes on the route, boosting the number of seats per week by 39 percent, according to a press release from Central Illinois Regional Airport.

"Increasing the number of seats to Denver has been one of our goals since the new route stated in May, and we are thrilled that will happen in January, just seven months after service started to Denver," said Charlie Moore, chief executive officer of the McLean County Chamber of Commerce.
