NEW: Frontier Airlines passengers in Denver would step on the tarmac to get on and off planes under a new plan that commits the carrier to DIA for another decade.
Frontier Airlines passengers in Denver would step on the tarmac to get on and off planes under a new plan that commitsDenver International Airport has proposed $317 million in contract additions for concourse projects that include a big one aimed at keeping its third-largest carrier happy, with room to grow. DIA would spend $183 million to renovate and expand an existing ground-load facility used mostly by other airlines at the eastern end of Concourse A.
While the move to ground loading would save Frontier money in the long run, its executives say the decision was more about efficiency. The new gates would allow quicker turnaround times between flights — cutting time by nearly half in some cases — because the airline could load and unload passengers at both the front and rear doors on a plane, via stairways or switch-backing ramps. Each gate would be able to process more planes per day.
