As Spirit Airlines shrinks and contracts, it has now announced its latest cost-saving measure. As reported by Reuters, the airline will cut roughly 150 salaried positions, while also terminating all services to five airports. This comes as the airline expects to record a loss of over $800 million in 2025 and aims to ruthlessly cut costs in an effort to survive.

Spirit Airlines has been struggling financially for years and filed for bankruptcy in March 2025. Months after it exited, it once again filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August 2025 and has been making deep cuts to its network, staff, and fleet size. Spirit isn't the only US airline struggling financially, but its situation is perhaps the most dire.
