    @U2 Idk about the airline, Frontier from what I've noticed flies just as high as other airlines. They do fly regionally more often so maybe that's also a factor? I'm not sure

    @U2 Ok so like bush planes? Frontier is an airline, a "frontier plane" isn't a thing

    Generally they're flying comparatively short distances, so there's no point in climbing higher than necessary. Plus, optimization for good STOL performance generally comes at the cost of high-altitude efficiency.
