Spirit Airlines is canceling all routes to 12 major cities after bankruptcy. See the full list here
Spirit Airlines said it is ending service to a dozen U.S. cities, a week after filing for bankruptcy for a second time in less than a year. The first bankruptcy came in November 2024.
The discount carrier flies throughout the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean with an all-Airbus fleet.
The news comes a day after Spirit Aviation Holdings Inc., parent company of Spirit Airlines, announced its Chapter 11 filing was approved. That will enable the low-cost airline to keep flights running and the business afloat.
In an open letter to Spirit customers, the company said it will continue to operate and that passengers can continue to book flights and use tickets, credits, and loyalty points.
What routes are being canceled?
Spirit Airlines told Fast Company that “as part of our efforts to transform our business and position Spirit for long-term success, we are adjusting our network to focus on our strongest performing markets.”
On October 2, it will discontinue service to Albuquerque, New Mexico; Birmingham, Alabama; Boise, Idaho; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Columbia, South Carolina; Oakland, California; Portland, Oregon; Sacramento, California; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Diego, California; and San Jose, California, the airline confirmed to Fast Company.
The airline also confirmed it would no longer be launching service at Macon, Georgia, which was scheduled to start October 16.
Spirit Airlines financials
On Tuesday, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) announced it had begun the process of delisting the company, which trades under the ticker symbol FLYY, effectively suspending trading.
Spirit Airlines reported a Q2 2025 net loss of $245.8 million, with revenue down 20%, leading to “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue to operate.
