Cohen: Frontier Airlines Will Help Memphis Grow

[WASHINGTON, DC] – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) today released the following statement regarding Frontier Airlines offering new service at Memphis International Airport:

“The Memphis airport is a critically important transportation link in the Mid-South,” said Congressman Cohen. “This reasonably-priced Frontier Airlines service—as well as the recently announced new Southwest Airlines routes and UPS expansion—will help our city and our economy grow. I will continue doing everything I can to bring more flights, routes, and airlines to Memphis International Airport.”

Memphis International Airport is a world-class facility that today serves more than 6 million passengers a year. Dedicated in 1929 as the Memphis Municipal Airport with just two major carriers, the airport now hosts several national carriers as well as the FedEx “Super Hub.” Memphis International has grown into the busiest cargo airport in the country, and is the second-busiest in the world —behind only Hong Kong.
