Phoenix Frontier Inc. company history timeline

1965

As impressive as the Convair 580 was, the five Boeing 727-100 airliners Frontier bought in 1965 for $55 million propelled the company into the age of modern jet travel.

1967

After its merger with Fort Worth's Central Airlines in October 1967, Frontier served 114 cities with 56 planes.

1970

In spite of the optimistic additions, the airline failed to turn a profit in 1970.

1973

Frontier continued to offer new routes and set new records, serving its highest number of paying passengers in 1973 while receiving fewer complaints than any other regional airline.

1980

Although fuel costs rose and traffic fell, 1980 gave Frontier its highest profit to date: $23.2 million.

1985

After proposals to sell the company's shares to its employees and a bid by corporate raider Frank Lorenzo, People Express Airlines bought it in 1985.

1995

Samuel D. Addoms would become Frontier's CEO in January 1995.

In September 1995, a secondary public offering brought in $7.3 million of needed capital.

1997

In 1997, Frontier accused "monopolist" United Airlines of dumping--intentionally operating a large number of flights in order to gain market share--and other antitrust violations.
