UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2009 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Republic Airlines Holdings Inc. (“Republic”) and Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc (“Frontier”), giving effect to the Acquisition (as defined in Note 1) as if it had occurred on September 30, 2009. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of Republic, Midwest, and Frontier, giving effect to the Acquisitions as if they had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. The historical consolidated financial statements of Frontier and Midwest have been adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications to conform to Republic’s financial statement presentation.

The Company merged with Midwest Air Group, Inc. (“Midwest”) on July 31, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 23, 2009. Midwest financial results for the seven months ended July 31, 2009 and twelve months ended December 31, 2008 are presented in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations as separate columns. Midwest’s operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 include the sum of the one month ended January 31, 2008 of the Company prior to being acquired by the TPG entities and the eleven months ended December 31, 2008 after being acquired by the TPG entities. Midwest operations for the two month period beginning August 1, 2009 are included in the Republic results as filed in the Company’s 10-Q.

As Republic and Frontier have different fiscal year end dates, the recasted results for the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 of Frontier have been realigned to conform to Republic’s fiscal year. The Frontier unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 includes the unaudited operations for the six months ended September 30, 2009 results (included at Exhibit 99.1) with the unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Frontier unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 includes the audited March 31, 2009 results with the unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and deducting the unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with Republic treated as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, the aggregate value of the consideration paid by Republic to complete the Acquisition will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Frontier based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the Acquisition. A final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Frontier will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Frontier that existed as of the date of the Acquisition. As the final valuations and tax calculations are being performed, increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet amounts will result in adjustments, which may be material, to the balance sheet and/or statements of operations.

These Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with (1) the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Republic contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009; (2) the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Frontier for the six month period ended September 30, 2009 included as Exhibit 99.1 in this Form 8-K/A; (3) the audited consolidated financial statements of Republic contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008; (4) the audited consolidated financial statements of Frontier for the year ended March 31, 2009 included as Exhibit 99.2 in this Form 8-K/A; (5) the audited consolidated financial statements of Midwest included in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on October 16, 2009; and (6) the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Midwest for the six months period ended June 30, 2009 included in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on October 16, 2009. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent Republic’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position had the Acquisition occurred on the dates assumed, nor are these financial statements necessarily indicative of Republic’s future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not reflect the costs of any integration activities, benefits that may result from operating efficiencies or revenue synergies expected to result from the Acquisition.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1.	Basis of Presentation

Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc.

On October 1, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated investment agreement, as amended (the “Investment Agreement”), dated as of August 13, 2009, among Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc. (“Frontier”) and its subsidiaries, Frontier Airlines, Inc. and Lynx Aviation, Inc. (together with Frontier, the “Frontier Entities”), the Company purchased 1,000 newly issued shares of common stock, constituting all of the outstanding shares of Frontier, in connection with its emergence from bankruptcy (the "Acquisition"). Under the Investment Agreement, the Company served as equity plan sponsor for the Frontier Entities plan of reorganization and paid $108,750 and relinquished its rights to any distribution on account of the Company’s allowed general unsecured claims against the Frontier Entities.

The results of operations on a pro forma basis include reorganization expenses (income) recorded by Frontier Airlines which reflect significant adjustments related to the reduction of liabilities subject to compromise. These adjustments are not indicative of future results.

Midwest Presentation

The Company merged with Midwest Air Group, Inc. (“Midwest”), on July 31, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 23, 2009. Midwest financial results for the seven months ended July 31, 2009 and twelve months ended December 31, 2008 are presented in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements as separate columns. Midwest operations for the two month period beginning August 1, 2009 are included in the Republic results as filed in the Company’s 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Accounting Periods Presented

As Republic and Frontier have different fiscal year end dates, the historical results of Frontier have been realigned to conform to Republic’s fiscal year.

The Frontier unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 includes the unaudited operations for the six months ended September 30, 2009 results (included at Exhibit 99.1) with the unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

The Frontier unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 includes the audited March 31, 2009 results with the unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and deducting the unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

2.	Estimates of Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information was prepared in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” This financial information reflects the preliminary estimates of fair values.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet has been adjusted to reflect the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as the amount that the fair values of assets acquired exceeds the assumed liabilities and purchase price. The purchase price allocation is based upon total consideration of approximately $108.75 million.

The Company is in the process of determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This valuation process, as well as evaluation of the related income tax implications of the transaction and Frontier’s bankruptcy process, is still in progress and will likely not be completed prior to the filing of Republic’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2009. The Company has not recognized any deferred tax assets for net operating losses carried forward as the Company is assessing the amount that will be available as well as the amount of valuation allowance that would need to be recorded for these deferred tax assets. The following table represents a preliminary allocation of the total consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Frontier based on Republic’s preliminary estimate of their respective fair values as of September 30, 2009 (rounded to the nearest hundred):

- 5 -

Total purchase consideration	$	108,800

Assets acquired:
Current assets *		325,500
Aircraft and other equipment—net		498,600
Intangible assets		79,400
Other assets		177,400
Total assets acquired		1,080,900

Liabilities acquired:
Current liabilites		306,500
Long term liabilities		356,500
Deferred income taxes		142,200
Total liabilities acquired		805,200

Amount that the fair values of assets acquired exceeds the assumed liabilities and purchase price	$	(166,900	)

* Current assets include $37 million of cash injected into Frontier.

The estimated gain on bargain purchase will change as valuations and additional analysis is performed on the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The estimated gain will be reduced by approximately 38% for the income taxes.

The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements present the pro forma consolidated financial position and results of operations of the combined company based upon the historical financial statements of Republic, Midwest, and Frontier, after giving effect to the Acquisition and the adjustments described in these notes, and are intended to reflect the impact of the Acquisition on Republic’s consolidated financial statements.

The pro forma condensed combined information set forth in this Form 8-K/A is presented for illustrative purposes only. Such information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations and financial position that actually would have resulted had the acquisition occurred on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods. The pro forma adjustments are based upon information and assumptions available at the time of filing this Form 8-K/A.
