Not quite. Frontier left ABE because the airport wanted to (or was going to to) put costs up. Prior to that Frontier had intended to expand at ABE, at least with more Florida.

While I've always liked the idea of PBI for Frontier, I think UST may be the focus for the immediate future. The TTN-UST flights are gangbusters, and while I wonder if IAD-UST may be over scheduled by a frequency, I believe they're booking okay for so far out.

I would not fall over in shock to see more routes to UST at least by Spring Break.
