Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure.

The following information is being furnished pursuant to Item 12, Results of Operations
and Financial Condition.

On July 7, 2003, we issued a press release  announcing  preliminary  June 2003  traffic,
and providing  preliminary guidance  regarding  results of our first fiscal  quarter 2004.
The press release is furnished  herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The press release  includes a discussion of an estimated  range of earnings per diluted
share  excluding  government aid monies and other  unusual and  non-recurring  items,
which are  non-GAAP  financial  measures.  Our  management believes the  presentation
of financial  information  excluding the effect of government aid monies and unusual and
non-recurring  items is useful to investors because it facilitates comparison of results
of  operations  between current and past periods and enables investors to better forecast
future trends in our operations.  Furthermore,  in preparing  operating plans and forecasts,
our management  relies,  in part, on trends in our historical  results of operations exclusive
of these items.  However,  our  presentation  of non-GAAP  results  should not be viewed as a
substitute for our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors should note
that the estimates presented below are preliminary and subject to change.

                    Frontier Airlines Reports Preliminary June 2003 Traffic and Provides
                               Fiscal First Quarter Earnings Guidance


         DENVER (July 7, 2003) - Frontier Airlines (Nasdaq: FRNT) today announced preliminary traffic
results for June 2003.  Revenue passenger miles (RPMs) increased 39.5 percent to 422,039,000 for
June 2003 from the same period last year.  Available seat miles (ASMs) increased 19.3 percent to
558,476,000 for June 2003 from the same period last year.  This resulted in a load factor for June
2003 of 75.6 percent, an increase of 11.0 points from June 2002, when the airline reported a load
factor of 64.6 percent. The airline carried 462,115 passengers during June 2003, a 41.8 percent
increase from June 2002. The airline reported an average fare of $108 for the month of June 2003,
a 2.9 percent increase from June 2002 when the airline's average fare was $105. The Company also
updated its capacity forecast for fiscal year 2004 to 17.5 percent. Capacity forecast information
for the airline's fiscal year 2004 can be found on the investor relations section of its web site,
available at WWW.FRONTIERAIRLINES.COM.

         "Our June 2003 load factor represents the highest monthly load factor in Frontier's nine-
year operating history," stated Vice President of Marketing and Planning Sean Menke. "We are pleased
that our summer traffic has rebounded and that travelers are responding positively to a fare structure
change that occurred earlier this year and to increased frequencies to some of our more popular
destinations in our May schedule. In addition, we've increased our marketing efforts to spotlight
our new Airbus fleet and our innovative DIRECTV product and we believe consumers have responded
positively to that message."
         In conjunction with announcing its preliminary June 2003 traffic results, the airline also
provided guidance for its fiscal first quarter 2004. Frontier President and CEO Jeff Potter stated,
"The rebound of our passenger traffic in June 2003 compared to the distressed levels in April 2003,
when our country was in the midst of a war in Iraq, has been encouraging. As a result of increased
demand, as demonstrated by our June traffic results, we currently estimate that our earnings per
diluted share (EPS) for our fiscal first quarter 2004 ended June 30, 2003, excluding government
aid monies received during the quarter as a result of the Emergency Wartime Supplemental
Appropriations Act and unusual and non-recurring items, will fall between breakeven and $0.05 cents
per share."
         The Company plans to release its actual fiscal first quarter 2004 results on July 31, 2003
after the close of normal and after-hours trading sessions.
         The following table represents comparisons for June, fiscal first quarter 2004 and
