Frontier Airlines

[saab fixr]

Rumor around is that Frontier is sold any ideas

Spirit?! Just a guess.

Hasn't the 'Frontier is sold' rumor been going around for a couple of years now?

I heard it's supposed to be announced with the A320 delivery on July 20th. Also heard it is Indigo as the investor.

Like Andy was saying, almost every month they say the deal will be done but nothing materializes.

When will the C-Series start arriving? :laugh:

I can maybe see Indigo but Spirit? I dont think so, at least I hope not

Bill Franke, the head of Indigo Partners, is still Chairman of Spirit. A position he's held since Indigo became majority owner in Spirit back in 2006. I wouldn't rule out a tie-in if Indigo's a majority partner in a Frontier buyout. They'd probably get other vulture capital firms such as Oaktree to join them in a Frontier purchase.

I'm not saying this new rumor isn't true but my favorite was that ponze scheme of "The new Frontier Airlines" with hi-speed train out of NOLA and a new airport....bla bla. The reverent got out of control with that one!

This is all I found!!

Thanks for clearing that up Andy - as soon as I read Saabrowski's post it showed a lack of understanding of the playing field. I didn't have the energy to inform him so I appreciate the post.

Saabrowski - if you read Oaktree Capital OR Indigo Partners in the news THEY are the guys behind Spirit (and other airlines at one point or another).

Saab just a quick question - do you fly for Spirit right now ?

Johnsonrod, the C series was never supposed to come to the Frontier Certificate.

Interesting. I thought Republic bought the slots for F9 because the aircraft are probably too big to be used with other partners due to scope. Any guesses on how Republic might use them now?

I guess they could sell the early delivery positions once the C-Series gets hot and make some cash...

spirit would be a good combo for them.
