Frontier Airlines Launches New Orleans to Denver Service



Daily Nonstop Service Begins June 11

DENVER, June 11, 2010 - Frontier Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RJET), today launched new nonstop service between Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) and Denver International Airport (DEN) with one daily roundtrip flight. This new service is part of a significant growth period for the Denver-based carrier, which is growing by 7 percent in seat miles this year, making it the fastest-growing major carrier in the United States.

“We are very excited to be launching a second destination from New Orleans,” said Daniel Shurz, VP of planning and strategy. “With nonstop service to both Denver and Kansas City, our New Orleans customers will enjoy easy access to our more than 70 destinations across the United States, Mexico and Costa Rica.”

Frontier’s New Orleans-Denver service is flown by the Airbus A318 aircraft. Customers on board these aircraft enjoy comfortable leather seating with DIRECTV® service in every seatback and four rows of available STRETCH seating, which provides an additional five inches of legroom for $25 or less.

Following are the schedules for the new service:
