Jul 17, 2002Frontier Airlines Introduces On-Line Booking Capabilities for Unaccompanied MinorsDENVER (July 17, 2002) Frontier Airlines (Nasdaq: FRNT) today added on-line booking capabilities for unaccompanied minors on its web site at www.frontierairlines.com. Unaccompanied minors are defined as children between the ages of 5 and 11 traveling without a parent, guardian or companion of at least 12 years of age. In the past, customers booking a ticket for an unaccompanied minor had to book the child’s flight through Frontier’s reservation center or through a professional travel agent, which meant the customer did not always have access to the airline’s lowest fares, which are found on www.frontierairlines.com. Now, customers can book Frontier’s lowest fares for their child while providing the required drop off and pick up information. Frontier treats the transportation of an unaccompanied child seriously and works as a team, in cooperation with the parent or guardian, to ensure the child is supervised and cared for during the child’s entire trip. “We are well into the busy summer travel season and with back-to-school trips just around the corner, we wanted to make sure that traveling with Frontier is affordable and as hassle-free as possible,” said Sean Menke, vice president of marketing and planning. “In addition, we want all of our customers, including those with special travel needs, to have access to Frontier’s lowest fares, which are always available at www.frontierairlines.com.” To book an unaccompanied minor at www.frontierairlines.com: Currently in its ninth year of operations, Denver-based Frontier Airlines is the second largest jet service carrier at Denver International Airport with a fleet of 33 aircraft and employing approximately 3,000 aviation professionals. Frontier and its affiliate Frontier JetExpress currently serve 34 U.S. cities with 170 daily flights. In 1999, 2000 and 2001, Frontier's maintenance and engineering department received the Federal Aviation Administration's highest award, the Diamond Certificate of Excellence, in recognition of 100 percent of its maintenance and engineering employees completing advanced aircraft maintenance training programs. In April 2002, Entrepreneur ranked Frontier one of two "Best Low-Fare Airlines," and in September 2001, Fortune ranked Frontier 41st on its 100 Fastest Growing Companies list. Frontier provides capacity information and other operating statistics on its Web site, which may be viewed at www.frontierairlines.com. |
