Frontier Airlines

Another ultra-low-cost carrier, Denverbased Frontier Airlines, has made a major push into Las Vegas in the past year.

Senior Vice President Daniel Shurz said the company is focusing on taking advantage of weaknesses in other airlines’ programs to generate customer loyalty.

While some ULCCS offer a list of ancillary services customers can buy, Frontier has bundled several of the most popular into two categories. The airline’s “Perks” bundle provides no cost for a checked bag, a carry-on, best available seats and priority boarding up until check-in. The more expensive “Works” bundle offers that list, plus changeability and refundability on tickets.

Frontier is veering away from its Denver-centric scheduling and has experimented with more point-topoint flights, including the recent announcement of seasonal service between Las Vegas and Calgary, Alberta.

as businesses take the less expensive route of conducting meetings over the internet instead of in person.

More than 300 airline, airport and aircraft manufacturing executives are attending the two-day summit at which Boyd will deliver airport and fleet forecasts and airline leaders will discuss some of their plans.
