Frontier Airlines Expands Service on 29 Routes for 2007
Thursday January 25, 12:02 pm ET
Three New Stations and the Debut of Embraer 170 Regional Jets Already on Tap for 2007


DENVER, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Frontier Airlines (Nasdaq: FRNT - News) today announced its summer schedule with expanded service in twenty-nine markets. The additional frequencies and added capacity follow recent new market announcements including Hartford, Conn. (starts March 3), Louisville, Ky. (starts April 1), and Vancouver, British Columbia (starts May 5), which will all feature non-stop service to Frontier's Denver hub. Frontier will also resume service to Anchorage, Alaska on May 6 with service through Oct. 14. In the coming months Frontier will also announce the first new cities for its Lynx regional operation flying state-of-the-art Bombardier Q400 aircraft.

The Louisville service will be one of the first Frontier cities to enjoy the benefits of Frontier's recently announced partnership with Republic Airlines who will operate 17 Embraer E-170 aircraft for Frontier. The E-170, with great leg room and a more spacious cabin than the typical regional aircraft, provides an experience unlike any regional jet in the industry.

Dayton, Ohio -- Starting May 4, Frontier will upgrade both its Denver flights to Airbus aircraft.

"The additional service and new destinations we have added thus far in 2007 are a direct response to our customers, both in Denver and around the country, who want excellent service at a great value," said Joe Cambron, Director of Planning for Frontier Airlines. "We are answering that demand with sixteen more flights from Denver than a year earlier and those flights are going where people want to go such as Mexico, California, Florida and Canada. With the addition of Vancouver, we have also reached an important milestone, becoming Denver's number one international airline with more non-stop international destinations than any airline."
