Long-Time Frontier Leader to Remain Member of Frontier Board of Directors DENVER, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:FRNT) today announced that its President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Potter, will resign to accept a new position outside of the airline industry. Potter has been Frontier's President and CEO since April 2002 and has been with Frontier in various capacities since 1995. Potter's new position will be announced next week and his resignation will be effective after Frontier's annual stockholders meeting on September 6, 2007. The Frontier Board of Directors has commenced a search for his successor. "Jeff has been a consummate leader and visionary since he joined Frontier in 1995 as Vice President of Marketing," said Frontier's Chairman of the Board, Sam Addoms. "Jeff's long list of successes at Frontier is due to a rare combination of sharp business acumen and tremendous people skills. It is that combination that has driven Frontier's growth and success for over a decade and has cemented his status as a leader who is universally respected by his peers, his executive team and the 5,500 employees of Frontier. We wish Jeff the best of luck in his new endeavor, and while he certainly will be missed by the entire Company, we are fortunate that we'll retain his leadership and direction as a member of our board." Potter originally joined Frontier in 1995 as vice president of marketing. For five years he oversaw all aspects of the airline's pricing, scheduling, planning, revenue management, sales, distribution and branding efforts. In May 2000, Potter accepted the position of president and chief executive officer with Kansas City, MO-based Vanguard Airlines. He spent one year with that airline, then returned to Frontier in May 2001, as chief operating officer. He was named Frontier's president in August 2001 and chief executive officer in April 2002. "While there is never a 'right time' to leave an organization that you care about as deeply as I do Frontier, I am proud that I am leaving a very healthy company at the dawn of what I firmly believe will be the most exciting phase of its growth," said Mr. Potter. "The hardest part of my decision to leave was recognizing all of the tremendously talented and passionate employees and co-workers that I will miss at Frontier. However, the success and strength of our Company certainly does not rest on the shoulders of one person. Rather, the efforts of those very same 5,500 employees and co-workers and a deeply talented, cohesive management team, will take Frontier to new heights in the future. My thanks go to Sam and the board, as well as the executive team at Frontier, for their on-going guidance and support. I look forward to remaining a part of the Frontier family for a long time to come as a board member and to celebrating many more Frontier successes in the future."
