Indigo Partners: Volaris and Frontier Airlines were 'natural codeshare partners' due to geography
Indigo Partners managing partner William Franke, speaking on CAPA TV, stated (Apr-2018) the company viewed its portfolio airlines Volaris and Frontier Airlines as "natural codeshare partners because of geography". Both carriers operate within each other's markets "to some extent", so the agreement is "an opportunity to try the idea of a codeshare between ultra low cost carriers to see whether it works". Mr Franke said Indigo Partners likes to "work with our portfolio airlines to look at opportunities to support one another".
