Spirit plans to slash capacity by about 25% this fall as part of its bankruptcy restructuring, a move that will likely trigger more layoffs at the struggling ultra-low-cost carrier.
In a memo to employees, President and CEO Dave Davis said the change will make Spirit’s operations more resilient and efficient.
“A key pillar of our restructuring is redesigning and strengthening our network,” Davis wrote. “With that in mind, later this afternoon, our operational leaders will receive our preliminary November schedule. As planning begins, you will see a reduction of about 25% in capacity, year over year, as we optimize our network to focus on our strongest markets.”
