Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. ULCC

Industrials SIC 4512 - Air Transportation, Scheduled Nasdaq

Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of Frontier Airlines, Inc. ("Frontier" or "the Company"), an ultra low-cost carrier. We are headquartered in Denver, Colorado and offer flights throughout the United States and to select near international destinations in the Americas. As of December 31, 2025, we had a fleet of 176 Airbus single-aisle aircraft, consisting of 6 A320ceos, 89 A320neos, 21 A321ceos and 60 A321neos. Our unique strategy is underpinned by our low-cost structure and superior low-fare brand.

Our business model is based on our unique ULCC strategy and customer offerings. While our strategy is similar to the business models utilized by other ULCCs, including with respect to low-cost structure, low fares and flexible optional services, we believe our strategy differentiates us from other ULCCs as a result of our focus on delivering a family-friendly customer experience with a more upscale look and feel than traditionally experienced on ULCCs globally. From the perspective of our customers, our business model provides a product offering that combines low-cost fares with dependable customer service, a customer-friendly digital platform, a modern fleet, comfortable cabin seating, a rewarding frequent flyer program, flexible optional and bundled services, and operational integrity. Additionally, our A320neo family fleet, along with our use of high-density seating configuration and weight-saving initiatives, have contributed to Frontier having the most fuel-efficient fleet of all major U.S. carriers when measured by available seat miles ("ASMs") per fuel gallon consumed during the year ended December 31, 2025, which helps us maintain our low-cost structure.
