Frontier Airlines Declares It's Colorado Proud

New catering lineup reflects the airline’s Colorado heritage

Frontier Airlines is proudly declaring its love for its home state of Colorado with the addition of some well-known Colorado companies and products to its catering menu. This month, the Denver-based carrier added Boulder Canyon Kettle Chips, Colorado Native Beer, Evol Burritos and Mountain Man Almond Chocolate Cherry Crunch trail mix to its menu, which already features other well recognized Colorado products including Blue Moon, Coors Light, Fat Tire Amber Ale, Horizon organic milk and IZZE sparkling juice.

“We are fortunate to be based in a state that produces so many exceptional products,” said Dan Krause, Frontier’s vice president of marketing and customer experience. “Our new catering lineup reflects Frontier’s Colorado heritage by focusing on local companies and products that are a true representation of what this great state has to offer. Just as we have received so much support from our fellow Coloradoans, we are proud to support our neighbor businesses while, at the same time, providing our customers with quality and unique inflight food and beverage options.”

In April, Frontier announced that it would begin featuring additional Colorado beers on board that will rotate every couple of months and be selected by its Facebook fans. The first round of voting ended May 15 with Colorado Native Beer coming out as the favorite. Voting for the next Colorado brew will begin in August at Facebook.com/FrontierAirlines, with the winning brew appearing on board in October.

And our friends at Milwaukee Business Journal felt this was yet another fine opportunity to pull in the local angle, as if these snacks were replacing the cookie...which they are not.

After scrapping Midwest’s cookies, Frontier focusing on products with Colorado ties

Frontier Airlines disappointed many local travelers earlier this year when it decided to scrap the baked-on-board chocolate chip cookies that had been a staple of the once dominant Midwest Airlines, the “hometown” carrier that had been based in Oak Creek before being merged with Frontier in recent years.

Now, after gutting its operations at General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee in favor of its main hub in Denver, Frontier announced in a news release that it is “proudly declaring its love for its home state of Colorado” with the addition of new products to its catering menu.
This month, the Denver-based carrier added Boulder Canyon kettle chips, Colorado Native beer, Evol burritos and Mountain Man almond chocolate cherry crunch trail mix to its menu, which already features other Colorado-made products including beers such as Blue Moon, Coors Light and Fat Tire Amber Ale, as well as Horizon organic milk and Izze sparkling juice.

Somehow, I suspect that the local Frontier / former Midwest customer base would say they are a tad more concerned about Frontier pulling virtually all their flights as opposed to pulling the cookie. But that's just me.
