LINTHICUM, MD — Frontier Airlines is launching four new flights from Maryland, adding further options amid a changing budget carrier market.

Frontier announced Tuesday that it will fly from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport to Cancun, Fort Lauderdale, Houston and New Orleans.

"Frontier is not just about delivering low fares - we’ve made major enhancements, from product upgrades to the most rewarding loyalty program, and investments in technology and service, as part of The New Frontier," CEO Barry Biffle said in a press release. "That's why Frontier is America’s Low Fare Airline, delivering the best value every day."

Frontier announced the news the same day that Southwest Airlines unveiled new flights from BWI Airport to St. Maarten in the Caribbean. Southwest has also recently added flights from BWI Airport to Knoxville, Tennessee and St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

On the other hand, Southwest will permanently cut its daily service between BWI and Jackson Municipal Airport (JAN) in Mississippi starting on March 4, travel website The Points Guy reported

With Southwest ending its long-standing bags fly free and open seating policies, Frontier sees an opportunity for expansion.

"We see a clear path to being the number one low-fare carrier in the top 20 U.S. metros," Biffle said. "As industry capacity adjusts, we want to ensure consumers in those markets continue to have affordable flight options."

Frontier also started flying between BWI Airport and Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) in July.
