Frontier Airlines wants to look more like Spirit

By AP | February 07, 2012

Chat Email

NEW YORK (AP) — The CEO of the company that runs Frontier Airlines is trying to make it more like lower-cost rivals Spirit Airlines and Allegiant. But he's not going all the way.

Those other airlines promote very low fares but charge fees for items that are free at other airlines, such as buying the ticket online.

Bryan Bedford is CEO of Frontier's parent, Republic Airways Holding Inc. In an interview with The Associated Press, he says there's no need to alienate Frontier customers with fees like that.

Republic is aiming to spin off or sell Frontier by the end of this year. That will allow Republic to focus on its main business of operating regional flights for major airlines such as Delta.

Freed reported from Minneapolis.
