Plenty of reasons. 1. Cost of new planes 2. Many of their planes are grounded because of problems with the engines on those planes. This isn't Dpirit's fault and they aren't the only airline that has this issue with the engine maker, but it's hurting them dearly. 3. They needed the merger with JetBlue to survive, but President Joe Biden thought that blocking the merger would help competition. A folded airline will not help competition Mr Lame Duck Present. 4.
Thank God I just completed a trip with spirit airlines the 1st week of Nov. They're ok no problem at all. Hope they come back stronger! SA keep the fares competitive forcing others to offer low airfares.
From a pilot...well, bad biz model, not karma. Just like Kiwi of the 90s, they were dead once the Majors matched their model with "Basic Economy" options.
every airlines have problems and majority i fly spirits never had a problem but 1 time for 3 hrs delayed..i can find spirit flight for 80$/100$ round trip non stop per person .. other airlines 400$/600 per person .. how are we ever going to afford to fly a whole family .. u guys be complaining about not free snacks and drinks save the flight money and grab a starbucks is cheaper .. 🤦♀️
So a few bullet holes from having a route in Haiti is probably what put em over the edge $
How are they in financial trouble. So many ppl fly them. Maybe because the tickets are so cheap with really great deals!

Im using my miles asap
Spirit is by far the worst airline I have flown in.
No one's keeping you to fly with them! Go fly and pay more with other airlines!!
I’ve flown with spirit multiple times in the past 5 months and had 0 issues
