PR Newswire (US)
Wyoming ski town sixth of seven new regional destinations for
Frontier DENVER, May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- At 8:30 a.m. MDT,
Frontier Airlines launched service to its newest market, Jackson
Hole, Wyoming. The nearly full flight was received in Jackson Hole
at 10:10 a.m. with tremendous fanfare, as Jackson Hole entered a
new era of high-quality, low-cost air travel. Frontier's new
Jackson Hole service will include three daily nonstop flights to
the Denver hub. Jackson Hole is one of seven new regional markets
Frontier announced in February, all of which are shorter-haul
markets, better suited to leveraging the economics of the
Bombardier Q400 aircraft. A fleet of 10 Q400s are operated for
Frontier by Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc. subsidiary Lynx
Aviation. "Our new Bombardier Q400s are the absolute best aircraft
for the Jackson Hole market," said Frontier President and CEO, Sean
Menke. "Not only does the Q400 have superior technology when it
comes to noise and vibration control, but if offers a level of
luxury you won't find in most of the turboprops out there. We are
looking forward to providing the Jackson Hole community with our
unmatched customer service, reliability, and low-cost airfare." "It
is with pleasure that we welcome Frontier Airlines into the Jackson
Hole community", said Mike Gierau, Chair, JH AIR. "The Bombardier
Q400 aircraft should prove a perfect fit for our market; extremely
fuel efficient and able to operate well at high elevation. The
decision by Frontier to provide year-round service, with over 200
quality seats daily feeding connecting traffic through Denver is a
significant commitment to Jackson." Following is the Jackson Hole

addition to the new service to Jackson Hole, Frontier also
announced new non-stops to two other regional destinations from
Denver including: * Hector International Airport (FAR), Fargo, N.D.
already in service * Gallatin Field Airport (BZN), Bozeman, Mont.
starting May 22, 2008 Lynx Aviation's new fleet of Q400 aircraft is
also serving four new Colorado markets with daily nonstop service
from Denver: * Colorado Springs Airport (COS), Colorado Springs,
Colo. * Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE), Aspen, Colo. * La Plata
Airport (DRO), Durango, Colo. * Walker Field Airport (GJT), Grand
Junction, Colo. 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%. About Frontier
