Bankrupt Frontier Airlines today announced a 17 percent reduction in its flight operations beginning in September and a “proportional” reduction in workforce.
Frontier employs about 6,000, which means 1,000 workers may be laid off.
The airline will retire seven aircraft from its fleet of 60 Airbus planes. Two others already have been sold, which means its fleet will consist of 51 planes by September, Frontier spokesman Steve Snyder said.
Officials from the carrier have met with union officials to discuss the cutbacks and will continue meeting, Snyder said.
