ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER:

     This Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 11") should be read
in conjunction with the Schedule 13D dated April 24, 1998 ("Schedule 13D"),
Amendment No. 1 dated May 25, 1998, Amendment No. 2 dated May 25, 1998,
Amendment No. 3 dated November 6, 1998, Amendment No. 4 dated December 1, 1998,
Amendment No. 5 dated February 19, 1999, Amendment No. 6 dated June 23, 1999,
Amendment No. 7 dated July 12, 1999, Amendment No. 8 dated April 7, 2000,
Amendment No. 9 dated April 7, 2000 and Amendment No. 10 dated July 10, 2000
(collectively, "Amendment Nos. 1 through 10") each as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by DDJ Capital Management, LLC, a Massachusetts limited
liability company, and certain affiliates.  This Amendment No. 11 amends the
Schedule 13D and Amendment Nos. 1 through 10 only with respect to those items
listed below.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto on the Schedule 13D or Amendment Nos. 1 through 10.

     This filing of Amendment No. 11 is not, and should be deemed to be, an
admission that the Schedule 13D or any Amendment thereto is required to be
filed.

     This statement relates to shares of the common stock, $.001 par value (the
"Shares") of Frontier Airlines, Inc. (the "Company").  The principal executive
offices of the Company are located at 12015 East 46th Avenue, Suite 200, Denver,
CO  80239.

ITEM 3.   SOURCES AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION:

     Item 3 is amended by adding the following:

     Other than as set forth in this Amendment No. 11, there have been no other
purchases or sales by the Funds since July 31, 2000 and therefore a Schedule B
will not be attached to this Amendment No. 11.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER:

     Paragraph (a) in Item 5 is deleted in its entirety and amended as set forth
below:

     (a)  The Fund beneficially owns, and DDJ Capital III, LLC and DDJ
beneficially own as general partner and investment manager, respectively, of the
Fund, 3,119,329 shares of Common Stock (including the warrants to purchase
716,929 shares of common stock, see Item 3), or approximately 16.8% of the
outstanding Shares of the Company.

ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR
          RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER:

     Item 6 is amended by adding the following:

     On July 19, 2000, B III Capital Partners, L.P. (the "Fund") wrote 25
February 2001 Call Options with a strike price of $20.00 in consideration for
cash in the amount of $5,093.57.  All such Call Options were traded on public
markets and therefore there are no written agreements.

     On September 29, 2000, the Fund wrote 1,000 May 2001 Call Options with a
strike price of $20.00 in consideration for cash in the amount of $238,741.95.
All such Call Options were traded on public markets and therefore there are no
written agreements.

     On October 2, 2000, the Fund wrote 320 May 2001 Call Options with a strike
price of $22.50 in consideration for cash in the amount of $55,198.13.  All such

agreements.
