Frontier Airlines
This company was also the result of a merger. In 1950, it was born when Challenger Airlines, Arizona Airways, and Monarch Airlines came together to make a single company. The HQ of Frontier Airlines was located in Denver, Colorado, but it had hubs in St. Louis, Dallas, Salt Lake City, and Kansas City as well. According to USA Today, it failed to outdo the competition. It was a good thing that it got a second life that continues to fly the skies to this day. Frontier Airlines that we are familiar with started in 1994. In 2009, the second iteration of the company was purchased by Republic Airlines.

Family Airlines
When it was starting out, Family Airlines promised budget flights. Headquartered in Las Vegas, fares had been as low as $49 from Dallas to Los Angeles. It also offered $89 flights between Los Angeles and Honolulu. This airline company had its eyes on families as its main target audience. Sadly, the Federal Aviation Administration revealed that it was not going to process the application of the company, which it needed to start operations. FOX30 reported that it tried once more under the name Avatar Airlines. We are sorry to report that this failed to improve things. Apparently, the government had reservations that had something to do with Barry Michaels, the founder of the company. It never really took off.
