History
Frontier was founded in February 1994, after Continental Airlines closed its hub at Denver.[1] By July 1994, Frontier had started flights with Boeing 737 airplanes. In 1999, the airline bought Airbus A320 family airplanes.[2] As of 2016, Frontier owns 61 Airbus airplanes.[3] Republic Airways Holdings bought Frontier in 2009.[4] Frontier was later sold to Indigo Partners in 2013. Indigo Partners also owns Spirit Airlines. Since 2015, Frontier and Spirit have been thinking about combining to create one large ultra-low fare airline.[5] In February 2022, the two companies announced that they were merging. [6]
