Company Profile

We are a low fare airline with our primary hub at the Denver International Airport.  We fly to over 80 destinations in the United States, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. Service features include advanced seat assignments, electronic ticketing, curbside check-in, online check-in, and our EarlyReturns® mileage program. Frontier currently operates a fleet of 15 Airbus A320s, 40 Airbus A319s, and four Airbus A318s. Republic Airlines operating for Frontier flies a fleet of 17 Embraer E190s. Additionally, our regional partners operate six Embraer E145s and four Q400s as Frontier Express.

We commenced operations on July 5, 1994, taking advantage of three unique windows of opportunity:

  • A major airline's dramatic downsizing of its Denver operations, leaving service gaps in many major markets
  • The construction of Denver International Airport, which replaced Denver's heavily congested Stapleton Airport
  • The availability of several key executives from the former Frontier Airlines, who created a senior management team with long-term experience in the Denver market

Low Fares
We proudly offer our Fare Options that allow customers to choose the level of certainty, flexibility, and amenities that they desire. In addition, we offer our Best Fare Guarantee that customers won't find a lower Frontier fare anywhere outside of FrontierAirlines.com.

Frequent Flyer
We offer our own mileage program, EarlyReturns®, which features one of the fastest reward programs in the industry. EarlyReturns award redemptions include a free roundtrip flight anywhere on our domestic route system at just 25,000 miles. Members earn one mile for every mile flown with us, plus additional mileage with program partners, including hotels, a credit card, and car rental agencies. The program also features two elite tier levels of benefits that include bonus mileage, priority boarding, and free checked bags.

Vacation Packages
Frontier has teamed up with Ski.com to offer customers one-stop ski shopping through its Web site at FrontierAirlines.com or at FrontierSkiVacations.com. With Frontier Ski Vacations, customers can book the complete vacation package: flight, lodging, lift tickets and more, with just one visit to the airline's Web site.

We have a vacation package program called Frontier Vacations that we developed with Denver-based Neat Group. FlyAways are customized packages for the individual and include air/hotel, air/car or air/hotel/car combinations.

Corporate Business
We offer corporate rebate and discount programs to businesses. Small-sized and medium-sized businesses can receive online access through our website to corporate rebates, direct booking capabilities, and reporting information about their company's travel and accounting history. More frequent business users are eligible for a corporate discount program.

A Whole Different Animal
"A whole different animal" is more than a catchy tagline. It's a concept that uses one of our most recognizable features and ties it in with our ability to stand out from the rest. We approach our business with four key principles in mind: Affordable; Flexible; Accommodating; and Comfortable. These are the four "legs" we stand on. "A whole different animal" represents our commitment to do the little things that make a big difference to our customers.

Partnerships
Frontier currently offers service to regional destinations under its codeshares with Great Lakes Airlines when connecting to or from a Frontier flight in Albuquerque, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, or Phoenix.
