Counted from the 1,669 flight numbers we publish under this airline's code, October 2024 to July 2026, according to the US BTS. This is not the airline's full network, and where the source is an airport departures board a number can be a codeshare operated by another airline.

Flight timing & delays

Historical departures, grouped by the scheduled local time at the departure airport. These are recorded outcomes, not a forecast for your flight.

Times are local to each departure airport. Results combine the routes in this source’s coverage; a different mix of routes can change the averages.

Environment

Jet fuel consumed

Every gallon the airline reports to the US Department of Transportation (airline fuel cost and consumption report) — all scheduled and charter flights, domestic and international.

In June 2026, Frontier Airlines consumed 35,885,550 US gallons of fuel (33,698,093 on domestic and 2,187,457 on international flights), according to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics — about 349,884 tonnes of CO₂.
