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.
