Re: Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2025 Filed February 18, 2026 File No. 001-40304 Dear James G. Dempsey:

James G. Dempsey Chief Executive Officer, President and Director Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. 4545 Airport Way Denver, CO 80239

We have limited our review of your filing to the financial statements and related disclosures and have the following comments.

Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.

After reviewing your response to this letter, we may have additional comments.

Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2025 Financial Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents, page 94

1. We note your disclosure indicating that you consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash and cash equivalents, although also indicating that items with maturities greater than three months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash (including money market funds and time deposits) are also reported as cash and cash equivalents.

As the definition of cash equivalents in FASB ASC 230-10-20 stipulates that only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under the definition, i.e. short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates, unless you are able to show why this criteria would not apply to you (also considering the FASB deliberations regarding the limit as March 17, 2026 Page 2

documented in their basis for conclusions), it appears that the instruments having original maturities greater than ninety days should be reclassified.

Please provide us with details of the amounts that you have reported as of the end of the two last fiscal years as cash and cash equivalents that did not have maturities of three months or less when acquired.

Note 8 - Operating Leases Aircraft Rent Expense and Maintenance Obligations, page 108

2. We note that you report aircraft lease extensions in each period which impact your accruals for the right-of-use asset and corresponding liability, although which also yield reductions to aircraft rent due to changes in estimates for lease termination costs. Your accounting policy disclosure explains that some leases with initial terms greater than 12 months include rental escalation clauses, renewal options, termination options and/or other items that cause variability and are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate, although does not indicate how these assessments are based on or utilize the criteria of exercise being reasonably certain to occur.

Please expand your accounting policy disclosure on page 95 and the critical accounting policy disclosure on page 79 to describe the factors that you consider in determining whether exercise of lease extension options are reasonably certain upon entering into a lease, based on the guidance in FASB ASC 842-10-30-2 and 842-10-55-26, and to explain how the prospects of exercise are reassessed in subsequent periods based on the guidance in FASB ASC 842-10-35-1 and 842-10-55-28 and 29.

Please include details sufficient to understand the alternatives to exercise that are under consideration, and the nature of the changes in circumstances that appear to arise only upon exercise and which do not result in any changes to your assessment of exercise as being not reasonably certain in the intervening periods prior to exercise. Please describe any correlation between your decisions to extend aircraft leases and any changes in your plans to acquire aircraft as represented by the tabulation on page 77.

Also tell us how many aircraft were covered by your lease extensions each period, the number of years covered by the extensions exercised, and whether the leases for the aircraft covered by those extensions had been subject to any prior extensions and if so, also describe to us the typical terms for the initial lease periods, terms for any extensions, and indicate whether there are typically multiple extensions available.

In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.

Please contact Yolanda Guobadia at 202-551-3562 or Gus Rodriguez at 202-551-3752 with any questions. March 17, 2026 Page 3
