Notable history
The current Frontier Airlines (1994) revived a brand from a Denver-based regional that operated 1950–1986. Acquired by Indigo Partners in 2013, which converted it from a low-cost to an ultra-low-cost model with unbundled fares and a tail-art animal mascot program. Each new aircraft tail features a different animal — the 'Animals on the Tails' marketing program is among the airline's distinctive brand assets.
About this profile
Reference data (codes, headquarters, founding year, alliance, ownership) is curated from each carrier's own published materials, the US DOT BTS Form 41 filings, and SEC filings for publicly-listed carriers. Fleet rosters reflect the active in-service fleet at the time of the most recent data refresh; aircraft on order are not counted toward fleet totals. Average fleet age is calculated from the same active fleet.
Hubs and focus cities are sourced from the carrier's own destinations or about pages. Loyalty program partner lists are drawn from each program's published partner roster.
This profile is re-verified on a recurring monthly cadence aligned to the US DOT BTS Form 41 release schedule.
