Amid growing losses and rumors of an impending Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, Florida-based Spirit Airlines appears to be phasing out its remaining Airbus A319 fleet. The move comes as the low-cost carrier streamlines its all-Airbus fleet to the A320 and A321 to increase commonality and flexibility within its remaining fleet.  

According to independent aviation analytics firm Ishtron and as reported by the Aviation A2Z website, all operations with the carrier’s dwindling Airbus A319 fleet will come to an end on January 8, 2025, with no flights being scheduled across the airline’s network after that date.  

Data from Cirium shows that the final A319 flights that will be operated by the carrier will be services from Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL), the company’s main hub, to Newark (EWR), Boston (BOS), Houston (IAH), and San Juan (SJU) in Puerto Rico. The last flight is scheduled to be flight NK262 from San Juan to Fort Lauderdale on that date, which will arrive at the Florida airport at 22:05 local time.
