By 1986 Denver, Colorado Springs, and (last of the old local service points) Grand Junction were the only places left in Colorado which Frontier served, and Albuquerque the only one in New Mexico. It coincided with the US post office changing their contract arrangements, which had supported such services to a considerable extent. Like many (all ?) of the onetime "Local Service Carriers" (an official CAB grouping of the principal secondary carriers), once deregulation came along Frontier just wanted to let go of their intermediate points, and compete instead with the major carriers to the same destinations. Airfield elevation not an issue - Durango is even higher. ![]() It would also be a little unlikely to ignore fuel pickup at Farmington, as the city long had one of the oldest oil refineries in the US, and jet fuel would be notably cheap there.
