Frontier Group Holdings has today announced the appointment of James G. Dempsey as President and Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Frontier Board effective January 7, 2026.

On Thursday (January 8, 2026), Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. announced that their Board of Directors has elected James G. Dempsey as President and Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Frontier Board, effective yesterday. In December 2025, Mr. Dempsey had been named Frontier’s interim Chief Executive Officer.
In Thursday’s announcement, Frontier’s Board Chairman, Bill Franke, said,
“Jimmy has demonstrated over his more than a decade at Frontier that he’s the right leader to drive our airline forward. His expertise will help us capitalize on the opportunities we see ahead, preserve our industry-leading cost advantage and guide Frontier into the future.”
Also commenting on his election, Frontier Group Holdings’ new President and CEO, James Dempsey, added,
“It’s an exciting time at Frontier as we kick off 2026. The dedication and hard work of our team members enables Frontier to deliver unrivaled value to our customers. I look forward to continuing to work alongside Team Frontier and the Board in our next chapter to execute and deliver long-term shareholder value.”
Frontier has also today announced an update to their fourth quarter 2025 guidance, originally published on November 5, 2025 and supplemented on December 15, 2025. The company now expects its adjusted (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share to be at the higher end of the previously provided guidance range of between $0.04 and $0.20 per share. This reflects strong revenue performance as the quarter progressed, overcoming the impact of the government shutdown.
