Spirit Airlines, the low-cost airline known for bright yellow planes, sassy style and cheap fares, helped revolutionize the way we pay for travel. To balance the tariffs, the carrier charges everything from hand luggage to bottles of water.
As of 2019, Spirit Airlines has been profitable for 13 consecutive years. However, since then the airline has gotten into tough times.
With the coronavirus pandemic that crashed passenger traffic, Spirit announced total revenue of $ 402 million in the third quarter, a 60% year-over-year decrease.
