Commits to protect wilderness and connect people with wild places

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In further support of the communities in which it flies, Frontier Airlines is pleased to announce a partnership with The Wilderness Society, a leading public-lands conservation organization working to protect wilderness and inspire Americans to care for our wild places. Frontier Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RJET), will serve as the official airline of The Wilderness Society and support its ongoing efforts to protect America’s great places.

“Frontier is more than an airline with animals on its tails, we are a Company with an intense passion for the communities we serve and a real responsibility to help protect the incredible wilderness habitats our guests travel to each and every day and in which our ‘spokesanimals’ call home”

Frontier’s partnership with The Wilderness Society will support wilderness and wildlife protection in communities across the United States, including areas within the White River National Forest region of Colorado, the San Gabriel Mountains in California, and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, among others.

“Frontier is more than an airline with animals on its tails, we are a Company with an intense passion for the communities we serve and a real responsibility to help protect the incredible wilderness habitats our guests travel to each and every day and in which our ‘spokesanimals’ call home,” said Bryan Bedford, chairman, president and CEO of Frontier Airlines. “We are so pleased to work together with The Wilderness Society in their effort to protect the nation’s wilderness and inspire people to connect with these great places.”

“The partnership between Frontier Airlines and The Wilderness Society enables people to experience first-hand nature’s treasures,” said William H. Meadows, president of The Wilderness Society. “Together we can protect the places we love by connecting people to iconic American landscapes that sustain Frontier’s ‘spokesanimals’.”

Frontier Airlines and The Wilderness Society will be celebrating America’s wilderness through the my wilderness campaign. An interactive campaign launching on April 18, my wilderness asks individuals to share their favorite stories of experiences in their own wilderness – from hiking in a national park, fishing on a favorite river, camping with friends or simply throwing a ball with their daughter in a neighborhood park. With my wilderness, people can participate in contests to visit wild locales, watch videos featuring wild places of the month, get outdoors tips and learn more about the places they love.

Frontier will support The Wilderness Society through financial contributions, creative fundraising efforts and employee volunteerism. For more information, please visit FrontierAirlines.com and wilderness.org.

Great! So they're helping a bark eating, whale saving, baby killing, leftist, freedom hating, can't enjoy wilderness anymore, scruffy lookin', commie, pinko organization. I wish folks would actually investigate organizations before agreeing to help them. They might change their minds.

Or it may help the wilderness folks to be a little more airplane friendly when promoting new wilderness areas. Depends on the relationship, I suppose. I don't know much about frontier.

Frontier is Denver's best lost cost carrier, but this will certainly make me think twice and will push me to fly with someone else. I'll have to look into it, but I doubt this is to promote aviation in the wilderness.

And Rob is right, these people are ruthless about THEIR wilderness. They will try to restrict motor vehicles on OUR PUBLIC LANDS at all costs. And the sad thing is, that many of the people that support these groups rarely use the outdoors and live in states have little open lands. It's happening in CO and throughout the West.

AND I've seen more destruction from these ecco freaks than from your standard backcountry user. I cold go on and on....

Our only option is to support organizations like the UBCP, RAF, IDA, and vote in politicians that share our views. But I'm afraid this is a losing battle.

Ahh, except for in the lovely state of Idaho, where wilderness co-exists with Jet Boats and Airplanes.

I just sent a courteous letter to Frontier advising them of my disdain for the Wilderness Society's approach to our environment and that until they discontinue their arrangement with them that I will boycott Frontier and encourage others to do the same.

I also sent a curtious complaint to Frontier corporate, explaining that without GA access to back country wilderness strips, the effect is to ban most all of our citizens from ever having the opportunity to enjoy the wilderness.

Again a large swath of wilderness is open to Airplanes and backcountry airstrips in Idaho. There's shades of grey out there, it ain't all or nothing.
