“We strive to be the most environmentally sustainable airline in North America, which has led us to our current position as ‘America’s Greenest Airline,’” said Barry Biffle, CEO of Frontier Airlines. “Furthermore, at Frontier we believe ‘The Sky is for Everyone,’ a philosophy that extends to both our customers and our team members. Throughout this inaugural report, we aim to capture many of the initiatives that demonstrate our commitment to the pillars of ESG.”

    • Employing the latest engine technology within Airbus A320neo family aircraft
    • Installing 30 percent lighter Recaro seats
  • Commitment to purchase millions of gallons of sustainable aviation fuel “SAF”
  • Transitioning from plastic to biodegradable inflight products
  • Showcasing endangered and threatened species on aircraft liveries

The publication also details Frontier’s efforts to foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace for employees while democratizing air travel for customers.

Social Capital Highlights:

  • Unbundled air travel with à la carte pricing providing consumers greater access to affordable flights
  • Partnering with aviation industry employee advocacy groups
  • Establishment of business resource groups supporting Team Frontier diversity
  • Fostering career growth through a management trainee program (80% female participation)
  • Creation of a pilot cadet program to welcome America’s next generation of pilots

“Every one of the 20,000 members of Team Frontier which includes Frontier employees and vendors are essential to delivering Low Fares Done Right,” said Biffle. “We foster a culture of continuous improvement, engagement, and inclusion to empower team members to best serve our customers with safe and reliable service and innovation, and invest extensively in training and development to support and advance our team members to their fullest potential.”

The publication also outlines the company’s commitment to community engagement through volunteerism, in-kind donations, and fundraising. A governance and risk management section details board oversight and diversity, and the company’s comprehensive ethics and compliance programs.

With an unwavering commitment to our ESG objectives, Frontier will continue to focus on each of these critical areas and to regularly report on our progress.
