Calgary International Airport II

[Tobuz]

Two and a half hours after the big public reveal by Frontier and by most of their new destination airports (all at 11am Mountain this morning) the new routes have been picked up by mainstream local and national media across the U.S. A quick scan of Google shows that the route expansion has made the news from Buffalo to Las Vegas to Oklahoma City to Colorado Springs to Long Island ... all saying 'our city is getting new air service'.

But, here in Calgary, not a single peep out of the folks at YYC yet.

You'd think that any new route would be a big PR opportunity for an airport authority, and that they'd want to be out at the front of the wave of info to get their message across effectively.

The silence is odd.

Perhaps Frontier forgot to let YYC know they were coming?
