Ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit is holding its ground against United following a hard-hitting series of comments from CEO Scott Kirby this week.

The order is valued at $4.4 billion at list prices, not including the optional aircraft. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the first half of 2027.

The left main landing gear contacted an airport service road approximately 420 feet short of the runway, investigators said.

Ultra-low-cost carrier Allegiant will shake up its network early next year with three additional routes and a brand-new destination.

Sun Country is set to deploy Boeing 737-900ERs within its scheduled network, joining the carrier’s existing fleet of 737-800s.

Avelo said that it closed on a new round of “significant” funding to help grow its scheduled passenger operations. A specific dollar amount was not disclosed.

American is adding a brand-new destination to its network that is not currently served by any U.S. carriers. Service is slated to launch in early 2026. 

Frontier will launch 22 new routes in November and December, expanding service across the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America.

The carrier joins a growing list of U.S. airlines offering free Wi-Fi, including Delta and United. American plans to debut complimentary Wi-Fi in January.

Spirit will discontinue service in 11 U.S. markets this fall as part of a broader network adjustment, a spokesperson told AirlineGeeks on Wednesday.
