Frontier Airlines has been named "North America's Leading Low-Cost Airline" of 2011 by World Travel Awards, an 18-year-old coveted travel awards program that acknowledges excellence in the world's travel and tourism industry.

"Travelers can rely on Frontier Airlines for affordable fares all year long. We've worked tirelessly every day for more than 18 years to provide our customers with an affordable, enjoyable, comfortable and safe experience - representing our trademark better and different experience," said Peter Kowalchuk, director of Corporate Communications at Frontier Airlines.
