Frontier Airlines orders A321ceos

Colorado-based Frontier Airlines has placed its first Airbus A321 order, inking a deal for nine of the type to join its all-Airbus fleet.

The order takes Frontier to a backlog of 89 Airbus aircraft, including 80 A320neos. Airbus said the carrier has not yet announced its engine selection or seating configuration for the A321s.

Frontier began its transition to an all-Airbus fleet when it took delivery of its first Airbus aircraft in 2001. The Airbus single-aisle family has allowed the airline to expand its route network while minimizing operating costs.

Frontier Airlines CEO David Siegel said, “We continue to come back for more A320 family aircraft because they fulfill our mission of providing low fares through low operating costs. The A321 is a natural fit with our unique brand of low fares.”

Frontier Airlines currently flies a fleet of 35 A319ceos and 20 A320ceos.
