yeah...you have a point. That is kinda comical now that I think about it.

When they add routes, isn't it kind of like we added them as well?

AA has made it clear to DFW that they don’t want spirit to get any more gates. Give us gate there (or anywhere) and we can grow. LAX could immediately double its departures per day if we had the gate space

For those that care.

looks like Spirit is expecting 13 deliveries of the A321NEO’s in 2023.

It says the config is TBD, I wonder with what variant Spirit will go with.

it will also be interesting to see if with go with the LR, XLR, or just stick with the plain Jane regular version.

When did this change?

Did they swap 319/320 for 321 or is this 13 additional planes. I didn’t think we hand any more 321s coming

when Spirit placed “the big order” a year and a half ago for 100 new Airbuses. It included a mix of A319NEO’s, A320NEO’s and A321NEO’s. So yes, this isn’t new. But what is new is a better picture of when the deliveries will be as far as the A321NEO’s are concerned.

If I recall correctly from recent employee calls:

They like the 321Neo and want it, citing “good economics”. They said, however, that it’ll be “quite a while” before they can get their hands on them.

Also said not likely to order LR/XLR because “our seating config is quite dense” and apparently they couldn’t even carry the extra gas with such a heavy cabin config. Just what I heard on the call.

also. Frontier just dropped 17 new routes out of MCO today. Ouch
