I was surprised. It was the only one of the first non-Florida cities that I didn't understand.

Frontier struggled with CMH from the git-go, and shortly before it started it was selling so poorly they offered $15 one way fares in an effort to get butts on seats. It achieved this goal, but no-one is making money on that kind of fare. It did better in high summer, and with somewhat better fares, but that isn't enough to keep it year round.

So I was further surprised when they initially scheduled it through the winter, thinking perhaps they knew something I didn't, or were seeing numbers I wasn't, but in the end the cancellation came as no surprise to me.
