Two women are suing Frontier Airlines for allegedly failing to help them after two separate sexual assaults.

 

Two women who claim they were sexually assaulted on Frontier flights have sued the Denver-based airline for allegedly refusing to help them.

 

The class-action lawsuit, filed on 16 December, states that one of the women was told by a flight attendant she could not change seats after claiming she was assaulted by a man on a flight from Denver to Providence in October 2018.

 

The second woman says she was sexually assaulted by a man the following month on a flight from Denver to Florida.

 

In both incidents, the suit alleges that despite cabin crew being alerted to the assaults, they did not request law enforcement be contacted to meet the plane upon landing.

 

In a statement, a Frontier spokeswoman said: “the safety of our passengers and crew members is our number one priority at Frontier Airlines and we have strict policies in place to proactively and appropriately respond to reports of misconduct and alleged crimes.”

 

The lawsuit seeks to represent any other passengers who were sexually assaulted on a Frontier flight since December 2017.
