Inland Empire residents will soon have another way to fly to New York City — without first driving to LAX.

Frontier Airlines will begin a direct flight from Ontario International Airport to Newark Liberty International Airport starting either in March or April, the airline and Ontario International Airport Administration announced on Tuesday, Aug. 27.

The Frontier flight will become the second direct flight to the Big Apple from ONT, adding to the red-eye flight already offered by JetBlue Airways, which flies to New York’s Kennedy Airport (JFK).

“We are thrilled that low-fare Frontier Airlines has chosen Ontario to open its nonstop, cross-country service from Southern California to Newark Liberty International Airport,” said Alan D. Wapner, OIAA president and Ontario City Council member.

“This will mark the first time in the airport’s 90-year history that it has offered nonstop flights to Newark, and the first time that our airport has enjoyed options to the Garden State and the Big Apple.” Wapner said in a prepared statement released by OIAA.

Newark airport will be the 23rd airport served by airlines operating out of ONT. Other airports served by Frontier from ONT with nonstop flights include Austin, Denver, Orlando and San Antonio.

“The new Frontier service will help ensure we continue in 2020 the significant growth in passenger volume we are seeing in 2019,” said ONT CEO Mark Thorpe in a prepared statement.
