Republic reported average occupancy rose 6 % in May.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Republic Airways Holdings Inc., which operates Frontier Airlines and does regional flying for other carriers, said Thursday its planes were much more crowded than a year ago. The company said traffic rose 116 percent -- more than doubling because of the addition of Frontier, which it bought last year. Paying passengers flew 1.83 billion miles on Republic's planes last month, compared with 851 million miles in May 2009. Capacity doubled -- again reflecting the addition of Frontier -- to 2.24 billion available seat miles. With traffic rising faster than capacity, the company's planes were more full. Average occupancy rose 6 percentage points to 82 percent in May. Republic is folding Midwest Airlines operations into Frontier. The company also owns Chautauqua Airlines and other carriers that operate regional flights for American, Continental, Delta, United and US Airways.
