Boeing on Thursday announced a new 10-year agreement with North American carrier Frontier Airlines to implement a range of crew, flight-planning and operations tools to enhance efficiency for the airline.
These digital solutions from Boeing's Jeppesen product range provide fleet-wide cost savings across regional and international routes, enhance airline crew-planning processes and increase operational reliability, the announcement said.
In addition to its digital navigation and charting services from Boeing, Frontier Airlines will use a new Jeppesen digital solutions suite that provides day-of-operations decision-support tools.
"From maintenance and operational planning to day-of and irregular operations, the Jeppesen automation and crew-management tools will complement our low-cost business model while contributing to our system reliability and efficiency," said Brad Lambert, vice president of Flight Operations for Frontier Airlines.
"As commercial aviation emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, Frontier Airlines is poised to continue its exceptional growth, utilizing Boeing's analytics-powered tools to maximize performance and reduce costs during this critical moment for our industry," said Ted Colbert, president and CEO of Boeing Global Services.
Headquartered in Denver, Frontier Airlines operates more than 100 aircraft with a route network spanning the United States, the Caribbean and Mexico.
