Frontier Airlines Expands Mexico Service



Adds Seasonal Nonstop between Denver and Ixtapa; Kansas City and Cabo

DENVER, June 17, 2010 - Frontier Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RJET), today announced plans to expand service to Mexico with the addition of new nonstop destinations from both Denver and Kansas City. Seasonal nonstop service between Kansas City International Airport (MCI) and Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) will operate Dec. 18, 2010, through April 16, 2011. Seasonal nonstop service between Denver International Airport (DEN) and Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo International Airport (ZIH) will operate Jan. 15 through March 26, 2011.

“With the addition of this service, Frontier continues to be the leading carrier to Mexico from both Denver and Kansas City,” said Daniel Shurz, VP of planning and strategy. “We’re proud to offer even more destinations at affordable fares, making it easier than ever for our customers to take off for their favorite Mexican destination.”

Frontier now serves six nonstop Mexico destinations from Denver and three from Kansas City. The new routes will be available for purchase on FrontierAirlines.com on Sunday, June 20, 2010.

Both new routes will be flown by the carrier’s Embraer 190. The 99-seat E190 aircraft features comfortable two-by-two all-leather seating with four rows of STRETCH seating, which provides an additional five inches of legroom. This will be Frontier’s first Mexican deployment of the E190 aircraft. These new routes remain subject to government approval.

Frontier is also excited to announce that it is extending the season for its Indianapolis-Cancún service. This year, the Saturday-only service will start six weeks earlier on Nov. 6, 2010, and extend to April 30, 2011.
