Frontier utsetter en rekke flyleveranser og skyver på 54 A321neo, sånn cirka halvparten av de planlagte leveringene de neste par årene, til etter 2029.

I tillegg dropper de A321XLR og går heller for standardutgaven.

Frontier planlegger å returnere 24 A320neo til utleier i år, men samtidig som de mottar nye fly, så gjøre det flåten relativt stabil gjennom året. Samtidig er planen øke utnyttelsen av flyene bedre frem mot sommeren 2027, og dermed hente ut vekst gjennom det.
