On October 31, Gelunhui | A spirit airlines spokesperson stated that about 330 pilots will be on leave until January 31, 2025, as part of efforts to reduce costs and strengthen financial position. Despite strong travel demand, this ultra-low-cost airlines has been operating at a loss. The company has failed to report profits in the past six quarters, leading investors to question its ability to manage upcoming debt repayments. Last month, the airline arranged for 186 pilots to take leave. The spokesperson mentioned that the company will also demote 120 captains to first officers on January 31. In addition, the company plans to reduce capacity by 20% compared to the same quarter last year, and expects capacity to decline by around 15% by 2025.
