Frederick the Bald Eagle

As rulers of the sky, the bald eagle fearlessly rises well above its prey! Having a keen eye for detail, it pays close attention to what lies below. These large birds move throughout the land primarily by soaring-a style of flying where they hold their wings outward and rarely flap-saving considerable energy. They can fly seemingly forever, locking their wings in certain positions as they navigate through strong and stormy winds. This special trait is often viewed as a symbol of strength and courage.

MEANING BEHIND THE NAME

Frederick the Bald Eagle is our first A321neo, first GTF-powered aircraft, and first of three special liveries and is named in in honor of Pratt & Whitney's founder Frederick B. Rentschler, recognizing the nearly 100-year history of the engine maker. The aircraft marks the first of 144 A320neo family aircraft - 134 purchased and 10 leased - for which Frontier has selected Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engines.
