“I wish my former colleagues at Frontier and their new owner, Indigo Partners, the very best and continued success in the transformation of Frontier to an ultra-low-cost carrier. I’d also like to thank Dave for his dedicated service to Republic over the past four years,” said Republic Airways Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Bryan Bedford.  

“With the sale of Frontier complete, Republic can now focus its full attention on its core regional jet business and continue to strengthen its relationships with its major airline partners,” Bedford added. Republic Airways Holdings, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, is an airline holding company that owns Chautauqua Airlines, Republic Airlines and Shuttle America, collectively “the airlines.” 

Frontier Airlines is headquartered in Denver, Colorado with a hub at Denver International Airport. It operates flights to 77 destinations throughout the United States, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Mexico. The company operates 56 aircraft (35 Airbus A319-100, 17 Airbus A320-200 and 4 Embraer E-190). The carrier has a code-share agreement with Great Lakes Airlines which connects passengers to surrounding Rocky Mountain States.
