To my knowledge all of "our" aircraft and future aircraft orders are leased-back after being sold to GE Capital.
The only valuable real estate F9 had was in Denver, and our management volunteered to cut the number of gates in half; at the same time every newspaper was claiming Denver as the fastest growing city in the U.S. There is no long-term vision for this company, it exists solely for short-term profits.

Ok, so 57/63 aircraft in our fleet are lease-backs. We have six wholly owned hangar queens. The original question on ownership was in reference to Frontier's valuation for an IPO. Frontier owns the oldest 9% of the current fleet, I'm not sure that adds a great deal to the valuation.

Airbus are pointless to own. They build these things with term limits. They're not Boeings that have the potential to take on a whole other life when a pax carrier is done with them. Airbus' head to the scrap yard.
What's attractive is up front incentives negotiated/offered by Airbus to take deliveries, then attractive lease terms with a solid order book. The lease payments are just a cost of doing business.
The delivery schedule and fleet count numbers by years end including givebacks is 72 birds. 8.5 to 9 pilots per bird.

How they ever got this approved is beyond me. Maybe that's just the first half of the plan. Now if they can get the city to approve the reverse process for boarding passengers, we can have 'drive through' service and won't need any gates!!

Who needs gate space? Frontier has a new plan for snow events or tarmac delay! Taxi the airplane under the A-bridge and unload passengers using stairs onto the icy ramp! Genius!

But hey, if that's what they want to do, paint a taxi line and stage a ground crew and let's watch the clown show commence...
