I thought they tried IND-CUN last year and it didn't work out.

It isn't that the route didn't work out. Frontier was pulling almost all the point to point routes at the time in order to try and survive. I assume they are receiving some kind of incentive to bring this route back with daily service. Perhaps also there will be some feed coming from MKE on the Midwest flights. The last time Frontier ran this route they at most ran 3 times a week. So this is a pretty big change even in the best of times.

BTW the service will start December 19th.

Didnt F9 hasn't already reapplies by few years ago for STL-CUN? :confused: Because it was fifth freedom traffic rights to gets filing the authority for STL-CUN. It will try to get subject of government approval. Either way they didn't applies again for almost 2 or 3 times during the times. Because F9 are fought against DOT wants to get more traffic rights for STL-CUN & IND-CUN, too.

I feel 90% sure that Frontier had submitted a notice to the DOT a year or so ago stating that they were dropping the CUN service from IND. That may have acted as official notice that they were surrendering rights to the route. In that case they would have to reapply which is what it looks like they have done.
