Low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines announced plans Thursday to add service for the first time from Hollywood Burbank Airport, the latest sign that travel demand is beginning to recover from a yearlong pandemic slump.
The news that the Las Vegas-based carrier will add three routes out of Hollywood Burbank Airport starting in July comes less than a month after a former United Airlines executive made Burbank the launchpad for a new low-cost carrier, Avelo Airlines.
Although the number of passengers passing through U.S.-based airports is still only about 60% of pre-pandemic levels, travel and tourism leaders predict that pent-up demand will result in a surge of air passengers this summer, thanks to the vaccine rollout and declining coronavirus cases.

SANTA ANA (CNS) - Orange County officials have announced they will shut down the county s mass COVID-19 vaccination sites in June due to a lack of demand for inoculations.
Instead, the county will focus more on mobile vaccination clinics to provide shots in areas where there is more resistance to getting the jab in the arm.
The Super Point-of-Dispensing, or POD, sites at the Anaheim Convention Center, OC Fair & Event Center, Soka University and Santa Ana College will shut down on June 6, officials said Thursday.
“It makes sense,” Andrew Noymer, a UC Irvine professor of population health and disease prevention, told City News Service.
