Frontier Airlines commenced operations in July 1994, and has since grown to become a major player in the US ultra-low-cost aviation market. The latest data from ch-aviation shows that Frontier Airlines’ fleet is currently made up of 55 aircraft from the Airbus A320 family, with an average age of around six years old. This is broken down into:

8 x Airbus A320 82 x Airbus A320neo 21 x Airbus A321 44 x Airbus A321neo.

Frontier Airlines’ fleet is set to grow exponentially over the coming years, as it awaits the delivery of 27 Airbus A320neos and a staggering 164 Airbus A321neos. It remains to be seen if these new aircraft will be used to expand the carrier’s route network from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

However, even with further growth, Frontier Airlines is highly unlikely to ever oust Delta Air Lines as Atlanta’s dominant carrier. The SkyTeam member boasts the world’s largest airline hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, operating more than 1,000 flights each day to over 200 destinations around the world, including to destinations as far away as Johannesburg (JNB), Cape Town (CPT), and Tokyo (HND).

Delta Air Lines’ presence at the airport is so strong that it has a 72% market share. To put that into perspective, the second-largest carrier at the airport is currently Southwest Airlines, with a 9% market share.
