Context

Jul 31, 2026

Probability rose from 4.5% to 8.7% — a 4.2-point move over the past day.

The probability of Frontier filing for bankruptcy has stayed in unlikely territory, currently at 8.0%. The price trajectory has been relatively flat, suggesting no major news has shifted the market's view. For a "Yes" resolution, Frontier must announce—through official channels, its CEO, legal team, or other authorized representatives—that it will file for bankruptcy or has already done so. The announcement itself triggers settlement, even if the actual court filing occurs later. A definitive consensus of credible reporting also counts. The deadline is Jan 1, 2027. The market's price will reflect new information up to Jan 1, 2027. Any statement from Frontier addressing its financial position, or reports from reputable outlets suggesting imminent bankruptcy, could cause the probability to jump. Conversely, the absence of negative news may keep it low. The resolution source—official announcements and credible media consensus—provides clear triggers that traders watch.

FAQ

The market resolves to "Yes" if Frontier Airlines announces it will file for bankruptcy or has filed for bankruptcy, through official channels or via a CEO, legal representative, or authorized team. A consensus of credible reporting also suffices.

What if Frontier files for bankruptcy but does not publicly announce it?
