Frontier Airlines is an ultra-low-cost carrier headquartered in Denver, Colorado, specializing in budget-friendly flights to over 100 destinations across the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America, with a fleet of Airbus A320 family planes often sporting colorful animal-themed tail designs that make spotting them at the gate a mini safari. It traces its roots back to a 1950s merger but really took off in its current form in the 1990s as a no-frills operator, focusing on efficiency and low fares while growing through acquisitions like the one with Midwest Airlines.
Frontier's dialed it up with DEI commitments preaching equal opportunity (while settling lawsuits over pregnancy policies), Pride Month spotlights turning the skies rainbow-friendly, reflections on BLM-era tragedies, hefty ESG reports touting sustainability and inclusion, and human rights codes that sound like a UN resolution for vendors.
