Frontier Airlines, headquartered in Denver  Colorado, has placed a firm order for 10 A321 and two A320 aircraft, the second time in less than a year that the airline has ordered the A321, the largest member of the Airbus A320 Family.

Each of the new planes will feature fuel-saving lightweight composite Sharklets on the wings which will be made in Broughton.

President of Frontier Airlines Barry Biffle said:

“This announcement paves the way for us to grow, modernize and renew our fleet while helping us build a strong foundation for the future,” said Barry Biffle, President, Frontier Airlines. “We remain focused on our Low Fares Done Right business model for long-term success and we look forward to working with Airbus to achieve it.”

Frontier took delivery of its first Airbus aircraft in 2001 and has since transformed into an all-Airbus, all-A320 Family fleet.
