| A318:
Frontier’s Aircraft Certified by the FAA
 The
U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has just certified
the CFM56-5B-powered Airbus A318, already certified by the
European Joint Airworthiness Authorities in May 2003. As the
first operator of the Airbus A318, Frontier participated in
a presentation of its new aircraft on static display at the
Le Bourget Airport, which hosts the Paris International Air
Show. On display for one day only, the aircraft attracted
attention with the grizzly bear painted on its tail. Frontier’s
unique livery features different wild animals found in the
continental USA. The Denver-based airline currently operates
18 Airbus A319 and purchased five A318 aircraft, scheduled
for delivery by April of 2004.
