Bankrupt Frontier Airlines will ground seven planes and reduce seats by 17 percent as it scrambles to blunt the effect of rising fuel prices.
The moves could result in 700 or more job cuts in Denver — which is about 17 percent of its local work force — although the carrier said it is still determining how many positions will be affected.
The carrier also will look to give up some gates at its hub in Denver International Airport, where it ranks as the second-largest airline.
Frontier joins a long and growing list of airlines that are trimming capacity and shedding planes amid high fuel costs.
The company did not say how much it expects to save by elminating roughly two dozen flights.
