Frontier says that the lighter cabin chairs will save over 31,000 gallons of fuel per plane each year, and further its mission as “America's Greenest Airline.”
On Tuesday, the new Airbus made its maiden commercial flight from Orlando International Airport in Florida to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, transporting passengers in seats that are 30% lighter than traditional models. "This new aircraft, which is the 105th in our fleet, represents a significant milestone in Frontier’s commitment to being America’s Greenest Airline," Frontier CEO Barry Biffle said in a news release. "We are in continuous pursuit of leading-edge strategies to reduce our environmental footprint and, at the same time, reduce fuel costs, which enables us to pass savings on to consumers in the form of lower fares."More Related News
