Spirit plans to end a batch of routes later this year. The ultra-low-cost airline has been shifting its network after emerging from bankruptcy in March.

According to this week’s Cirium Diio schedule update, the airline will suspend service from Boston to Atlanta and Chicago O’Hare. Previously scheduled through November, daily flights between Boston and Atlanta will end on July 9.

The airline’s Boston-to-Chicago route was slated to resume in December after a 10-month hiatus, but has now been scrubbed from Spirit’s schedule.

In addition, the airline’s service between Las Vegas and Seattle is now scheduled to end in August. It was previously scheduled through mid-November, operating multiple times per day.

A spokesperson from the airline did not immediately respond to AirlineGeeks’ request for comment.

Other New Routes

Despite these cuts, Spirit announced three new routes this week.

Starting in August, it will add new flights from Detroit, Minneapolis, and Reno, Nevada, as well as resume service on a route from Atlantic City, New Jersey.
