[FrontierPlt]

DENVER (May 21, 2004) - Frontier Airlines (Nasdaq: FRNT) will begin new service between its Denver International Airport (DEN) hub and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), Billings Logan International Airport (BIL) and Spokane International Airport (GEG) this Sunday, May 23, 2004. In addition, Frontier will also fly its first-ever transcontinental flight this Sunday between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Philadelphia. The new service between Denver and Philadelphia will offer two daily non-stops and the Los Angeles to Philadelphia service will offer one daily non-stop, both on Frontier's new Airbus A319 aircraft, with 33 inches of legroom and 24 channels of LiveTV. The service from Denver to Billings and Spokane will utilize Frontier JetExpress' 70-seat CRJ-700 aircraft with two daily non-stops to both destinations.

"This Sunday will be another watershed day in Frontier's history as we launch three new cities that add great depth to both our regional jet (RJ) and mainline service," said Jeff Potter, President and CEO. "The Philadelphia airport has made national headlines recently and we are proud to bring our own brand of value fares to this vibrant market, with a product that will be a first for Philadelphians including new Airbus aircraft with 33 inches of legroom, 24 channels of LiveTV and what is fast becoming legendary customer service. On the same day we are also launching two exciting new RJ routes from Denver to Spokane and Billings on our Frontier JetExpress service, operated by our great partner Horizon Air. Our thanks go out to each of these new cities and their airports for providing us the opportunity to serve them, and of course to our employees whose tireless efforts to bring the best to our customers gives us the confidence to tackle this critical expansion."

The growth sounds good!

Looks like Frontier is continuing to move into new markets. What percentage is being flown by Horizon Air pilots? How is the relationship between the two companies? I flew for QX for a little over a year and left for a quicker upgrade and pay increase, but really miss flying and living out west.

What is the latest news on aircraft devliveries for Frontier in the next eighteen months? I also heard a rumor that they may have another domicile if/when US Air vacates a hub out east.

Fly safe!

I believe a simple read of the press release can answer that question.

"The new service between Denver and Philadelphia will offer two daily non-stops and the Los Angeles to Philadelphia service will offer one daily non-stop, both on Frontier's new Airbus A319 aircraft, with 33 inches of legroom and 24 channels of LiveTV. The service from Denver to Billings and Spokane will utilize Frontier JetExpress' 70-seat CRJ-700 aircraft with two daily non-stops to both destinations."

Froniter pilots fly the A319. Horizon pilots fly the CRJ-700. You'll have to do your own math to come up with percentages. I'm too lazy for that.

(I know how many aircraft each company has, and what type, and can read the press release) but there are many other places they go other than those few cities mentioned in the release. I was just curious to see how much work they Frontier have contracted out on the side.

The relationship between the F9 and Frontier pilots is awesome.
Both ride in the cockpits and we can pretty much go anywhere without having to deal with the attitudes and hassles of other carriers. Life is good!

It was a joke dude, lighten up. Man, I think this board has run it's course for me...

I said so on another thread...but, I'll see y'all down the road somewhere. Not much of use here, anymore.
