Frontier Airlines filed for an IPO on Monday, a second attempt to go public that comes as the industry is trying to rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The airline is currently owned by private equity firm Indigo Partners, whose managing partner is airline industry veteran and low-cost pioneer Bill Franke.
The carrier had a $225 million loss in 2020 on revenue of $1.25 billion compared with net income of $251 million on sales of $2.5 billion a year earlier, according to a regulatory filing on Monday.
The company dropped plans to IPO last summer after filing in 2017.
The Denver-based airline plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker FRNT.
