- Frontier defers 69 A320neo aircraft deliveries from 2027–2030 window to 2031–2033: a 3–4 year pushout
- Reduces near-term capex obligations significantly, preserving liquidity during a period of financial stress for the ultra-low-cost carrier

- Amendment No. 20 to a 2011 Airbus purchase agreement signals ongoing, repeated restructuring of fleet commitments
Item 2.05 · Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
- Early return of 24 A320neo aircraft to AerCap in Q2 2026, cutting ~$400M from both lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
- Non-cash charges of $125M–$175M expected in Q1–Q2 2026 from maintenance write-offs and accelerated depreciation
- Additional $75M–$95M in cash charges for early termination and return costs, largely settled in 2028–2029
- Fleet reduction signals continued right-sizing of operations; AerCap deal includes 10 future sale-leaseback transactions for 2028–2029 deliveries, preserving future capacity optionality
