Frontier Airlines Holdings has entered into an investment agreement with Republic Airways Holdings, by which Republic will serve as equity sponsor for Frontier’s plan of reorganization and purchase 100% of the equity in the reorganized company for $108.75 million. The plan sponsorship agreement is subject to bankruptcy court approval and various conditions.
If the plan of reorganization is approved and implemented as proposed, upon its emergence from Chapter 11, Frontier Airlines Holdings would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic, an airline holding company that owns Chautauqua Airlines, Republic Airlines and Shuttle America. Frontier Airlines and Lynx Aviation would maintain their current names and continue to operate as usual.
