Spirit Airlines is cracking down on passengers who wear “lewd” clothing — or just too little clothing in general.

The low-cost Florida-based airline is asking passengers to dress in clothes that don’t expose their “private parts,” among other new rules, in its updated contract of carriage manual released Jan. 22.

On pages nine and 10 of the manual, Spirit states that a customer may not be permitted to fly if that customer is “barefoot or inadequately clothed (i.e., see-through clothing; not adequately covered; exposed breasts, buttocks, or other private parts) or whose clothing or article, including body art, is lewd, obscene or offensive in nature.”

Before now, the airline’s dress code was less specific, objecting only to “barefoot or inadequately clothed” passengers or those wearing clothes deemed “lewd, obscene, or offensive in nature.”

NBC News reached out to a rep for Spirit Airlines for comment but has not yet heard back.

Spirit’s revised language about its dress code comes nearly two months after the airline filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2024 following pandemic-era losses in revenue and a failed attempt to sell the airline to JetBlue, according to the Associated Press.

Spirit said at the time that it would continue operating normally during the bankruptcy process.

The same month, a Spirit Airlines flight from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince, Haiti was diverted to the Dominican Republic after it was struck by gunfire, injuring a flight attendant.

The State Department issued an alert from the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince at the time, warning of “gang-led efforts” to block travel to and from Port-au-Prince.
