Frontier Airlines Holdings, has reached a mutual agreement with Republic Airways to early terminate the airlines’ code sharing agreement. There will be a structured reduction and gradual phase-out of Republic’s 12 aircraft from Frontier’s daily operation to be completed by mid-June.
“We appreciate the great job Republic has done in helping us serve our customers,” said Frontier President and CEO Sean Menke. “Republic, while operating under the Frontier brand, provided a safe, efficient and customer-friendly product that is hallmark to our Company. Unfortunately with current economic conditions and other business changes, we have been forced to drastically rethink the use of regional aircraft in our fleet mix.”
