Keeping Up the Record-Setting Pace! Spirit Airlines Celebrates Historic 90.4 Percent On-Time Performance
December 05 2017 - 10:00AM
The good news keeps on rolling at Spirit Airlines (NASDAQ:SAVE).
South Florida’s Hometown Airline is celebrating a second month of
record-breaking performance with 90.4% of all network flights
arriving on-time in the month of November. The airline has improved
by 4% in system-wide on-time performance year over year.
“We remain committed to becoming a more reliable and friendlier
airline,” said Bob Fornaro, President and CEO of Spirit Airlines.
“I’m so proud of our Spirit Strong team for delivering consistent
improvements and bringing our Spirit Signature Service to every
guest, both in the sky and at the airport.”
In November, Spirit also announced two new cities and an
additional eleven new routes connecting some of the country’s most
exciting destinations. Spirit will bring its ultra-low fares to
Columbus, Ohio and Richmond, Virginia early next year. The two new
additions will bring Spirit’s growing network to 62 airports in the
U.S., Caribbean and Latin America.
Spirit will also receive three new Airbus aircraft next week,
adding two A320s and one A321 to its Fit Fleet, the youngest and
most fuel-efficient in the U.S. The additional aircraft will allow
Spirit to add new service to places where low fares are needed
most, giving more friends the chance to reunite and more families
the chance to plan their dream vacations.
Spirit’s operational improvement accompanies the airline’s
latest initiatives to improve the guest experience, including a
mobile check-in app; refreshed, mobile-responsive Spirit.com;
improved airport kiosks; and Facebook and Instagram accounts.
Thanks to these important improvements, Spirit’s guest satisfaction
scores have reached an all-time record high.
