Spirit Airlines has announced it is going out of business after 34 years. The ultra-low-cost airline known for its bright yellow planes and deep discount fares said Saturday it has started winding down operations.
Okay, that’s kind of funny. Because I’ve flown Spirit Air, and fuck Spirit Air (the seats are deliberately designed to be more uncomfortable than usual).
But also, it’s kinda sad because it disproportionally impacts people with lower income who need to travel on a budget.
But also, where can I buy their planes? I don’t have any money, or a place to park them. I’m just curious…

They’re not for sale. They just put new lipstick on all of the planes and a new airline will start up in 6 months or so.
Nah, that’s what usually happens but they straight up ran out of money and credit. It’s all for sale right now.
THat is pretty much the MO for AMerican companies during financial crisis. They change name and carry on with business.
