Frontier Airlines

Frontier Airlines is a discount-fare airline (similar to Southwest Airlines) that went bankrupt in the 1980s after an acquisition by People Express. It was revived in 1994 by former Frontier executives.

During the 1990s, Frontier Airlines was revived, using Boeing 737 jets. Just like the original Frontier, it flies out of Denver, Colorado. Unlike the old airline, it is out of Denver International Airport, and not Stapleton Airport. The planes used in the airline's re-incarnation are noted for colorful depictions of wildlife on their vertical stabilizers. In the late 1990s, Frontier began purchasing Airbus aircraft and offering DIRECTV in-flight television (on its new aircraft).

The current Frontier has routes extending from coast to coast, with connections through Denver.
