DENVER (June 6, 2002) - Frontier Airlines (NASDAQ: FRNT) today announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent with LiveTV to customize the seats in its fleet with DIRECTVå® satellite programming. Installation of the equipment on Frontier`s fleet of Airbus A319 and select Boeing aircraft is scheduled to begin in October 2002 and the airline plans to complete the installations by spring 2003. Frontier and LiveTV expect to sign a definitive purchase and services agreement for DIRECTV programming by July 1, 2002, and once that is completed, Frontier will be the largest air carrier to enter into an agreement with LiveTV to offer the DIRECTVå® service on board its aircraft.

The new DIRECTV® service will enable customers to choose from 24 channels of real-time DIRECTV AIRBORNE? programming from their individual seat. Programming includes news, business, sports, leisure, children`s and general DIRECTV programming. DIRECTV programming will be available from gate to gate (with the exception of the safety briefing) and passengers can track the flight`s progress on screen with real-time aircraft positioning information during the flight.

“Our decision to provide our customers with the opportunity to enjoy DIRECTV programming reflects Frontier`s passion for providing our customers the best travel experience possible,” said Vice President Marketing and Planning Sean Menke. “Frontier is excited to offer this new service, which we believe will have a tremendous appeal for our customers and will set Frontier apart in the industry.”

“Frontier`s passengers will have the opportunity to enjoy the same digital quality picture and sound that millions of families now experience in their homes,” said Larry Chapman, executive vice president, DIRECTV, Inc. “With real-time entertainment and information programming available via DIRECTV AIRBORNE, air travelers no longer have to be out of touch with the world when they fly.”
