Frontier Airlines’ newest “spokesanimal”a badger — was unveiled Thursday on the tail of the carrier’s newest aircraft.
The critter lacks a name, and Wisconsin residents are being given the opportunity to name it. Wisconsin, which is nicknamed “the Badger State,” is the birthplace of Midwest Airlines, which is being integrated into Frontier.
Frontier and Midwest were purchased last year by Republic Airways, based in Indianapolis. On April 13, Republic officials announced the two carriers would be known as Frontier.
