Spirit Airlines trimmed 14 routes from its route network. Some of these routes had been suspended, but they’re now cancelled altogether. No word has been given as to why these routes are getting the axe, but it’s speculated that they might be cut due to the current aircraft shortage.
Also canceled:
• ATL to ORD
• SLC to FLL
• DTW to MCI— Ishrion Aviation (@IshrionA) September 27, 2024

Anthony’s Take: The delays caused by Airbus are likely what is driving these cuts especially since some of them are leisure routes during the holidays. Route networks update all the time and some of these will return someday.

This stinks because I fly home from Texas to Atlanta monthly and spirit has been the best airline that I’ve used for the past 2 years. I never had any major delays or cancled flights like frontier who has horrible, delta and American airlines. Financially I can afford spirt but they have been taking afternoon flights away and it takes me 5 half hrs to drive to the airport and morning flights are impossible (did it last week, almost missed my flight. I don’t know who I need to beg to add more afternoon flights but please stop taking them away.
