About Frontier Airlines
Frontier Airlines is a US low-cost airline founded in 1994 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado. It is owned by Frontier Group Holdings, Inc., which is listed on Nasdaq, and is not a member of an airline alliance.
Denver International Airport is its home base, and Atlanta and Orlando are now among its largest operations. Frontier also has crew bases in Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Miami, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Tampa, San Juan, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Trenton. Many of its routes fly point to point rather than through a single hub. Together they serve around 100 destinations in the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America, and service to Colombia is planned from December 2026.
The fleet of about 165 aircraft is all Airbus, made up of A320neo, A320, A321 and A321neo jets.
Schedules, aircraft assignments, terminals and fare rules can change. Confirm operational details directly with Frontier Airlines before travel.
