post-emergence.

including Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Orlando (MCO), Detroit (DTW)

and the New York City area (EWR/LGA).

* The company anticipates adding aircraft between 2027 and

2030, commensurate with profitable growth opportunities.

* Spirit intends to expand its Spirit First and Premium

Economy products and continue its rollout of Premium Economy

seating.

* In October 2025, Spirit cut 100 aircraft, nearly half of

its fleet, as part of a sweeping bankruptcy restructuring

process.
