Spirit Airlines is one of the key players in the ultra-low-cost sector of the modern commercial aviation industry in the United States of America. It has made its name with cheap fares, a bright yellow livery, and a reliance on ancillary fees, but, in recent years, the carrier has begun to also consider premium offerings. What has remained consistent, however, is its all-Airbus fleet.

Spirit Airlines used to fly rear-engined DC-9 and MD-80 family narrowbody twinjets from US-based planemaker McDonnell Douglas , but now favors those offered by the European manufacturer. Its fleet today features a fascinating mix of previous and current generation models, with the portfolio as a whole only getting newer and newer. Let's take a closer look at Spirit's fleet.
