Before its deal with JetBlue fell apart, the merger was considered a lifeline for the struggling Spirit, which last turned a full-year profit in 2019.FILE - A Spirit Airlines 319 Airbus approaches Manchester Boston Regional Airport for a landing, Friday, June 2, 2023, in Manchester, N.H.NEW YORK — Spirit Airlines is deferring all aircraft on order from Airbus that were scheduled to be delivered in the second quarter of 2025 through the end of 2026, the discount carrier said Monday.
“Deferring these aircraft gives us the opportunity to reset the business and focus on the core airline while we adjust to changes in the competitive environment,” said Spirit President and Chief Executive Ted Christie. “In addition, enhancing our liquidity provides us additional financial stability as we position the company for a return to profitability.”
Florida-based Spirit also said it plans to furlough 260 pilots effective Sept. 1 as a result of the deferrals and ongoing problems with the availability of Pratt & Whitney GTF engines.
