DENVER (July 20, 2007) – Frontier Airlines (NASDAQ: FRNT) today announced it will donate 75 pairs of tickets to non-profit organizations in the Wichita community. Frontier’s new subsidiary, Lynx Aviation, will begin flying to Wichita on Oct. 1 and Rapid City and Sioux City on Oct. 5. The Denver-based low cost carrier will award the tickets through an essay contest asking Wichita’s non-profits: “Which of Frontier’s tail animals best represents your organization?” Frontier will announce the winners on at the inaugural flight festivities on Oct. 1.

“At Frontier, we strive to be involved and have a positive impact in the communities we serve,” said Frontier President and CEO Jeff Potter. “Our goal in a market like Wichita is of course to lower the cost of flying for local business and leisure travelers, and provide excellent customer service. But we realize that there is more we can do. The non-profit organizations in Wichita know best how to serve this community, because that is what they work towards every day. We at Frontier want to support these groups and contribute to their noble efforts. This ticket giveaway is a fun way that we can make an immediate positive impact as we prepare to bring our air service to Wichita in October.”

Carl Brewer, the Mayor of Wichita, said Frontier has much to offer the community.

"Frontier service at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport means lower fares to Denver and points beyond Denver,” Brewer said. “It also means that travelers will not have to drive three hours to an out-of-state airport to fly affordably. Frontier service will lower the travel costs for companies, enabling them to meet customers and potential customers. Businesses will be able to expand; opportunities for companies to locate in the Wichita area are enhanced; tourism and conventions will increase; families will be able to see relatives more frequently and take more vacations.”

He added:

"Frontier service means that more travel dollars will be spent in the State of Kansas, which translates into more tax revenue for the State. The economic impact of affordable fares at Mid-Continent Airport has a ripple effect throughout Kansas. On behalf of the City of Wichita and all of Kansas, we welcome Frontier to Wichita!"

This ticket giveaway is open to certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations in the Wichita metro area. Eligible groups interested in receiving two free round-trip tickets to Denver can submit a request at Wichita.FrontierCares.com, where they will be asked to provide basic information about their group and respond to the essay question. The essay contest is open from Friday, July 20 through Friday, Sept. 14. Members of Frontier’s Community Relations team will select winners based on entrants’ creativity and perceived need.  However, please note that organization can utilize the tickets in whatever way will benefit them the most whether it’s fundraising, rewarding volunteers or utilizing the tickets for business travel.
