Delaware residents can now take a flight without driving over the state line.
The state is finally getting commercial air service after a gap of five years.
Frontier Airlines is returning to Wilmington New Castle Airport after pulling out nearly five years ago.
Since then Delaware has been the only state without regular commercial air service.
It begins three times a week service to Orlando in May.
"We’re thrilled to bring our unique brand of low fares and offer the only commercial service from Delaware," said Daniel Shurz, commercial SVP for Frontier Airlines.
"We recognize the demand for affordable air travel in Delaware and are happy to offer nonstop flights to Orlando this summer."
Frontier is celebrating its return with introductory fares starting at $29.
Airport operator the Delaware River and Bay Authority said $5 million has been spent on airport upgrades to keep the airport up to standard.
There are also plans to upgrade the passenger terminal.
Frontier previously served Wilmington with flights to Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Tampa and Orlando before pulling out in 2015.
Wilmington has struggled to attract air service due to its proximity to both Philadelphia and Baltimore airports.
