Spirit now expects to end 2025 with a total of 219 jets in its fleet, with no additions of the A320neo aircraft
said on Monday it has reached a deal with Airbus to delay all aircraft deliveries scheduled from the second quarter of 2025 through 2026 and intends to furlough about 260 pilots, as the U.S. carrier looks to save cash.
A snag with Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan engines has forced Spirit to ground some of its A320neo aircraft, pinching the company at a time when it is already grappling with a cash crunch. “ aircraft deferrals and pilot furloughs look positive, in terms of helping the carrier to reduce defer some costs. However, among other factors, the carrier now potentially also reduces its revenue generation opportunities,” Citi Research analyst Stephen Trent wrote in a note.
. It had previously expected to add six A320neo jets in 2025 and increase its fleet to 234 jets.
