Frontier passengers traumatized after a suicidal trespasser walked into their jet’s path on a Denver runway have filed a $10 million claim against the city, arguing airport security should have stopped him before takeoff.

Frontier passengers were told to leave their bags behind during an emergency evacuation — exactly what safety rules require.

Frontier Airlines Kept $5.4 Million In TSA Security Taxes For Themselves, Court Rules
Frontier Airlines has lost in court after keeping $5.4 million in TSA security taxes that passengers paid on tickets they never used, then arguing the money was theirs once travel credits expired.

Frontier Airlines Sues American After Planes Collided At The Gate — Again
Frontier Airlines is suing American after another gate collision between the two carriers, arguing this latest incident was not just a one-off ground accident but part of a pattern. Liability seems clear but it’s not obvious how much Frontier can recover beyond repair costs, and American has already offered to pay half.
Frontier Voided Their Boarding Passes Over Bag Fee Fight — They Boarded Anyway And Resisted Arrest
Three women headed to Philadelphia on Frontier had their boarding passes voided in Miami after refusing to pay added bag fees, then went down the jetbridge anyway, refused orders to get off the plane, and ended the night in handcuffs. What began as yet another fight over Frontier’s aggressively monetized carry-on rules quickly escalated into trespass, removal from the aircraft, and resisting arrest — delaying the flight for everyone else.
