What’s the latest rumor on a potential aircraft order? Every airline with older A320 seems to be scrambling for more (eg United, Allegiant and every Chinese LCC) while the backlog for new NEOs continues to grow and grow with the MAX issues.
There are many more secondary and tertiary markets to connect out there.... As an example, Allegiant is opening a new base in SAV with 2 based aircraft and 15 nonstop destinations. Dave Neeleman’s MOXY plans to connect many secondary markets and stay away from the bigger hubs. How will Spirit maintain its growth rates without more airframes? Are we talking about a potential decision date this summer? More growth would be great for everybody - including the pax and pilot movement. Any thoughts or latest rumors?
