Colorado Springs is Frontier's Second Colorado Market and the First of Four New Colorado Destinations for Frontier

DENVER, April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- At exactly 8:35 a.m. MDT this morning, Frontier Airlines (Nasdaq: FRNT) inaugurated the first flight to its newest market, Colorado Springs. The flight was received in Colorado Springs at 9:14 a.m. MT with water cannons and tremendous fanfare as Colorado Springs entered a new era of affordable fare travel. Colorado Springs is the first of several new regional markets Frontier announced in February, all of which are shorter-haul markets, better suited to leveraging the economics of the 74-seat Bombardier Q400. A fleet of ten Q400 aircraft are operated for Frontier by Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc. subsidiary, Lynx Aviation.

In addition to the new Colorado Springs service, Frontier will utilize its new fleet of Q400 aircraft to serve three more Colorado markets with nonstop, daily service from Denver:

    -- Durango-La Plata County Airport (DRO), Durango, CO beginning
       April 22, 2008
    -- Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE), Aspen, CO beginning April 26, 2008
    -- Walker Field Airport (GJT), Grand Junction, CO beginning May 1, 2008

The quiet, fuel-efficient and technologically-advanced Q400 aircraft are ideal for flying into smaller markets and allow Frontier to bring its industry-leading customer service to underserved markets unreachable with its larger aircraft. Frontier's new service is expected to reduce the average fare in many of the new markets by as much as 50%.

'The citizens of Colorado Springs prefer the ease and convenience of their hometown airport, but they also want access to Frontier's friendly, low-fare service,' said Colorado Springs Mayor Lionel Rivera.
