The battle for bankrupt airline Frontier is over. And no, it isn’t Southwest airlines that purchased them.
During a bankruptcy auction, Republic Airways won, and will pay $108.75 million for the airline, adding them to their existing lineup of airline brands.
Republic Airways operates as Midwest Airlines and Mokulele airlines, as well as a whole list of feeder airlines like Delta Connection and United Express.The airline currently operates 228 airplanes, and flies 1400 flights daily.
Frontier operates a 51 plane Airbus fleet. During the bankruptcy, Frontier operated as normal, and the purchase by Republic means this won’t be changing any time soon, which is obviously good news.
