who we are

DENVER (May 26, 2005) - Frontier Airlines (Nasdaq: FRNT) will begin new, non-stop service between its Denver International Airport (DEN) hub and both Dayton International Airport (DAY) and Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT), beginning August 31, 2005. Each market will feature two daily roundtrips aboard 70-seat Canadair Regional Jets, operated by Horizon Air as Frontier JetExpress.

Fresno welcomes first low fare service
Fresno petitioned the DOT under the Small Community Air Service grant program in 2004 asking specifically for assistance in bringing Frontier to the area with the airport’s first low fare service. "Frontier is proud to turn that dream into a reality and wishes to thank both the DOT and the Fresno community for their commitment to Frontier’s unique brand of high-quality, but low fare service," said Jeff Potter, President and CEO of Frontier Airlines.

"This is a tremendous accomplishment not only for the City of Fresno but for the entire Central Valley," said Fresno Mayor Alan Autry. "Frontier's low fares will spearhead the Valley's economic growth. We have worked hard to attract Frontier to our community and anticipate the service will grow and prosper with these two flights representing only a beginning for this relationship."

Frontier continues a major expansion into the Buckeye State
Frontier recently announced the first-ever non-stop service from Denver to Akron/Canton (Cleveland Area), Ohio which will begin June 15, 2005. With the addition of Dayton on August 31st, Frontier will provide nearby service to most of the state’s largest population centers. "The addition of Frontier to our growing list of airlines helps position Dayton International Airport as the premier low fare airport in Southern Ohio," said Mayor Rhine McLin.

"Strong bookings for our new Akron/Canton service emboldened us to look toward adding more cities in Ohio," said Potter. "Dayton is the fifth largest metropolitan market without non-stop service to Denver so we saw a great opportunity to bring service to the West and Mexico to an underserved market, which is an ideal situation for Frontier."

Apart from Akron/Canton and Dayton, Frontier has brought the first non-stop service to a number of city-pairs over the past several years. Frontier recently commenced the only Denver non-stops to Little Rock, Arkansas and was the first U.S. carrier to offer non-stop scheduled service from Denver to the Mexican resorts of Cancun, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas and Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo. Frontier was also the first airline to offer scheduled service to Cancun from Salt Lake City, Kansas City, and Nashville. In addition, Frontier was recently the first carrier to request permission to fly non-stop from Denver to Cozumel.
