Frontier is flying from Airside C rather than Airside A and relocated its ticket counter on the second level of the main terminal to a nearby location visible from their longtime position, Tampa International executive director Louis Miller said.
The Denver-based airline is scheduled to become a subsidiary of Indianapolis-based Republic Airways Holdings Inc. Today.
Frontier posted 10 consecutive monthly profits through August, the latest data available. It filed for bankruptcy protection in April 2008 after its credit card processor held back 100 percent, rather than 45 percent, of its credit card transaction revenue before reimbursing the airline.
Frontier will retain its brand including the distinctive logos of animals on its aircraft tails, Frontier spokesman Steve Snyder said Wednesday.
The airline flies one nonstop daily between Tampa and Denver, competing with United and Southwest Airlines on the route.
