Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 30, 2026, Frontier Airlines, Inc. (“Frontier”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an agreement with Avolon Leasing Ireland 3 Limited (“Avolon”), an existing lessor, to sell 11 A321neo aircraft at the time of delivery from the Company's existing purchase commitment. The 11 aircraft include 3 deliveries expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 and 8 deliveries anticipated in the first half of 2027 based on the current delivery dates as of the filing date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. As previously disclosed on May 5, 2026 as a non-binding agreement in principle, this transaction is part of the Company's fleet-rightsizing initiative to increase the productivity of the airline. The aircraft are being sold at current market rates factoring in transition-related costs, including estimated remarketing costs, and each aircraft will be sold at the time of delivery to the Company. Accordingly, the Company now expects to take delivery of 22 aircraft this year, including 8 A320neo aircraft and 14 A321neo aircraft, with 3 of the A321neo aircraft expected to be sold in the fourth quarter as part of this transaction, and to exit 2026 with a fleet of 171 aircraft.
The preceding description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, a copy of which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Information
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and beliefs with respect to certain current and future events and anticipated financial and operating performance. Words such as “expects,” “will,” “strive,” “guidance” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Additionally, forward-looking statements include statements that do not relate solely to historical facts, such as statements that identify uncertainties or trends, discuss the possible future effects of current known trends or uncertainties, or indicate that the future effects of known trends or uncertainties cannot be predicted, guaranteed or assured. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (including in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations), and other risks and uncertainties disclosed from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based upon information available to the Company on the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
