Spirit

Low-cost carrier Spirit is launching new nonstop service to Key West, Florida.

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.

Spirit is set to expand its seasonal route network in August 2025, adding new options from various Midwest and East Coast.

Spirit has entered an agreement that will provide compensation for the aircraft it has been forced to ground due to problems with Pratt & Whitney engines.

Spirit, like other U.S. airlines, is bracing for an increase in the cost of foreign-made aircraft due to Trump’s new tariffs.

Five U.S.-based low-cost carriers have launched a new industry group, the Association of Value Airlines, to advocate on their behalf.

During the full quarter from Jan. 1 to March 31, 2025, the ultra-low-cost carrier posted a net loss of nearly $143 million.

Spirit is rolling out a seating option with extra legroom and adding benefits to its loyalty program, including free checked baggage for certain members.

Spirit has notified the SEC that it will need more time to prepare its first quarter financial statement because of its recent emergence from bankruptcy.

Contour and Spirit announced on Monday a strategic partnership aimed at increasing air service options for underserved communities.
