The American Airlines team is doing everything we can to support Spirit
Airlines customers and team members affected by Spirit's immediate wind-down of
operations. We are in touch with the Administration, including the Department
of Transportation, on steps we are taking to help mitigate the impact on the
communities Spirit serves and the traveling public.
To help customers whose travel may be disrupted, we immediately put rescue
fares into place on Spirit routes where American also offers nonstop service.
American serves 70 of the 72 airports Spirit presently serves, and 67 of the
specific routes Spirit currently operates. We are also reviewing opportunities
to add additional capacity — including utilizing larger aircraft and adding
flights on critical routes — to support as many affected passengers as
possible.
Spirit Airlines customers looking to book travel on American are encouraged to
book directly through the American Airlines app or on
aa.com.
American is working to provide transportation for Spirit team members who have
been displaced on a work trip. In addition, we look forward to welcoming
qualified Spirit team members to American. We have launched a
microsite for Spirit team members
interested in joining the American Airlines team, and we will be holding
recruiting events in the coming weeks.
We recognize this is a difficult moment for the Spirit Airlines team and the
airline's customers, and American stands ready to assist however we can.
