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 flight schedule:

In 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%.
