COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—A city proposal including tax breaks in exchange for a new maintenance hangar could be worth millions of dollars to Frontier Airlines Holdings Inc., the company’s chief executive said.
Colorado Springs is one of seven sites under consideration for the $40 million facility to replace a hangar at Denver International Airport that Frontier leases from Continental Airlines.
Frontier Chief Executive Officer Sean Menke told the Gazette in Thursday’s editions that Colorado Springs put a “very good proposal on the table.”
“When you compare it to what we pay in other places, including Denver, it is significant,” Menke said. “It is a point of negotiation. We will have discussions about it with the mayor (of Denver) and the people at DIA.”
Other sites being considered by the Denver-based Frontier include DIA, Broomfield, Watkins, Fort Collins, Greeley and Pueblo.
