RE: Chicago O’Hare Crew Base
Spirit Airlines is pleased to announce the opening of Chicago O’Hare, as our newest crew base! This new base will increase our operational reliability and flexibility by allowing us to bring low fares to more communities around the country. Once the base is fully operational some of the benefits we expect to realize:
· Increased operational reliability through greater crew reserve coverage
· Reduction in overnight hotels
· Less interrupted trip expense related to crew availability
· Better system recovery by reducing crew delay carryover
All of this translates into better reliability for our customers. Additional details will follow, including information on crew vacancy bids and future crew support resources available in Chicago.
Best Regards,
Tony
