Frontier Wants Give Back 6 Gates At Denver

bjorn14 · Wed Oct 07, 2015 12:22 pm

According to the Denver Post, Frontier wants to give back 6 gates and return almost 11,000 sq. ft. of leased space. Frontier said it was to 'right size' DEN. The move would save F9 $3MM a year and leave it with 8 gates.

Is there recent expansion sustainable with this reduction of gates?

Sorry if this has been posted before.

What expansion?

As of JAN they added DEN-CLT and DEN-PHL, but dropped DEN to:

BIS
BZN
CID
CLE
DTW
FSD
GSO
MSO
RDU
TYS

They basically got rid of all non-daily stuff. I doubt it will be back.

Were those permanent drops? Many of them had been seasonal routes.

People always ask that question as if there is a way of knowing the answer. There is no date that those flights are for sale in the future, so there is no way to know...but there is definitely no expansion. Given that DEN ski season is significant, a number of those would seem like routes you'd want to run in March if you were going to operate them at all. They dropped a bunch of other stuff from ATL and airports like UST that would seem to be Winter seasonal.

My guess is that the non-daily stuff is gone since that is clearly the direction they are moving in.

Whoa man, I just ask because you said these routes have been dropped which makes it sound permanent instead of just seasonal reductions. I guess my question was more rhetorical, pointing out a lot of those routes were seasonal (as the frontier website points out when you try to book a flight to any of those cities), so nothing new here.

You always seem to have insider information, so I thought you knew something the rest of us didn't.

DSM-DEN is staying..as of now, so some non-daily flying remains.

Even when Frontier was myopically DEN-centric, ski season didn't make for positive first quarter results. Strategically, I doubt the schedule planners give ski season a lot of weight when deciding how and where to best deploy the aircraft.

That'd leave WN with the ability to easily take those gates but seeing as they just got their extension on C, I don't think they're exactly clamoring for more gates at the moment. Not sure how much historical matters would come into play, but DL has been at those gates at C since the airport opened, iirc. Knowing DEN's unquenching thirst for distant growth and "build it and they will come" mentality, I wouldn't be surprised if they hop on the F9 vacancies to convert some other gates in A to more international capable gates.

Whoa man,

Sorry, just frustrated with the question because people use it to dismiss the fact that they are not for sale in the future as irrelevant because they "could" be for sale again. Anything could happen. Any route any airline drops can be resumed in the future.

Some people say that if the f9.com site says the route is seasonally suspended it means it is coming back, but I've seen little correlation on that. I would assume the ATL and IAH flying that didn't come back will be Summer seasonal, but the non-Denver non-daily stuff seems like in keeping with their recent strategy and many of those routes operated last Winter.

My guess is that if it isn't daily they aren't going to do it any more. Some of that will probably come back as daily, but little I suspect.

Frontier is reducing and re-configuring their DEN gates to reflect the previously announced down sizing in flights at their DEN hub. They are now down to 70-80 flights per day which means, all they will need will be the eight gates going forward.

The new gate configuration is projected to be four gates either side of the overhead walkway from the main terminal to concourse A.

The excess gates being given up are at the west end of this concourse. These gates are "clustered" and I doubt Delta would have any interest in them barring a big financial incentive from Denver's airport queen, Kim Day, to move.

I agree that there might be few places that WN would really add flights or frequencies. It doesn't want to be on DEN-PVD/MHT when it's on DEN-BOS, for example, and it did downsize DEN-PHL to 2x daily. Maybe it would add DEN-RIC but the local market might be too small. RIC customers lost SFO access when WN deleted ATL-SFO. MDW would be a closer hub, but WN would have to compete with AA and UA for local traffic, might do better having DEN which has more west flights.

With UA no longer being on routes like SFO-JFK, some of it's loyal base might support UA SFO-DEN-LGA more helping that role of DEN.

Thus, I wonder if UA would consider opening DEN-OAK even though it has a hub at SFO. There might be some business it can attain from OAK side with some nominal DEN frequencies. WN has that market all to itself. UA would rather OAK not exist, but it does exist and competes with SFO. Other carriers exist at competing airports to it's hubs when necessary: DL in HPN, AA in FLL, or B6 in PVD. OAK might have a different submarket to SFO, like those examples, than HOU to IAH or MDW or ORD, where UA doesn't need to be in the same city alternate airport.

FARmd90 · Wed Oct 07, 2015 4:04 pm

I think it would be awesome to see B6 jump on these gates. I feel like they could use a good middle hub. But at the same time, I also think they have a lot of plans for the east coast right now and wouldn't have time for Denver.

F9 has indicated should they need access to additional gates (ie. IROPS), the now freed up gates could be used at an added cost. This with the availability of the non-bridge gates at the far east end of concourse A (previously used for some of the former E-190 and Q400 parking) would allow sufficient room until such time as normal operations could resume.

WN (including FL) served roughly 5.399 million passengers at DEN through the first seven months of 2010. Through the first seven months of 2015, WN served 9.002 million passengers at DEN. An increase of 3.6 million passengers (or almost exactly two-thirds) would seem to be significant growth -- over 10% annual growth.

The tube gates at the end of the concourse really are a giant cluster when there are several flights departing at the same time. I suppose this means AA will give A46 back to the City to lease to F9.

UA does compete with WN on DEN-BWI directly, even though WN dominates the BWI side with a massive hub. What would be the difference in this case other than UA wanting to steer pax use SFO?

It's interesting that SFO and OAK are farther apart than FLL and MIA, and AA figured it must keep some presence in FLL, but UA figured (in the case of SFO and OAK) that it could just avoid OAK. While OAK might have been perceived as a low yield leisure airport, there seems to be service from DL, AS and other carriers (besides WN) that are likely not just picking up leisure traffic heading to Mexico and Vegas.

Not to get too OAK focused, but it is major missing route for frequent fliers of UA out of DEN, as DEN is a hub in the western US.

WN is up about 7% YOY in their most advanced 2016 schedule. I guess that's significant, but it is also nearly the smallest growth rate they have had. The absolute seat growth (not using %) YOY is about 75% less than they were growing at their peak. Point is that growth has slowed a lot. I'm not sure you will see them grow more than a few % after another year or two...unless UA changes strategy.

Good! As a passenger, I hate the clustered gates at the west end of the concourse and if anything, I was expecting those to be gates that Frontier would keep. It's a horrible experience; not enough seating, and extremely difficult to hear the announcements when a few of the gates are boarding at the same time (yes, I've been "gate lice" in those situations, since the announcements are hard to hear!).

Well - yes but not necessarily. LOL.

Frontier has achieved its remarkable financial turn-around with a static or even declining fleet and that continues for a wee bit longer.

The new A321's are starting to come in - the first goes ion to service at the end of this month - but Frontier is using this coming winter to rebalance the fleet and a bunch are of A319's are leaving in 1Q/16, leaving at a faster rate then the A321's are coming in.

So some things have to give, but the other guiding rule is that less than daily routes are out. That doesn't necessarily mean the routes are cut. TTN-PBI, for example, which was 3 x weekly last season is coming back as daily this season.

Same with DEN. In some cases it wasn't so much than the dropped routes were less than daily but they they relied too heavily on connecting traffic. From the Denver Post article:

http://www.denverpost.com/business/c...r-wants-right-size-at-dia-return-6

"Frontier wants to "right size" at DIA with return of 6 gates

In April 2014, Frontier announced it would become an ultra-low-cost carrier and quickly began decentralizing away from its Denver hub, offering more point-to-point flights instead.

This decreased the number of people who pass through Denver on connecting flights and effectively reduced the airline's presence in Denver by about 43 percent over the past year."

But as the article also says:

"We (Frontier) will grow over 10 percent next year at DIA and will probably add back gates at some point in the future — not reduce."

That growth could be achieved just with frequency on extant routes, but it could also mean the restoration of a couple of routes. DEN-PHL is a restoration.

I think it;s all good fun, because I cannot begin to guess where Frontier will jump next.
