Spirit Airlines is an ultra-low-cost carrier based in Florida. It was found in 1983 as Charter One. The company mainly provided tour packages to companies that needed to transfer passenger to various destinations around the United States. 7 years later, in 1990, the airline began operating scheduled flights in the United States. The airline is one of the biggest carriers in the United States, as Spirit Airlines is amongst the top ten airlines by passengers carried and fleet size. As of 2019, Spirit Airlines has 134 aircraft in its fleet. Over the coming two years, the airline is planning to add more aircraft and have 180 aircraft by the end of 2021. Spirit Airlines only operates the Airbus A320 family, namely the A319, A320ceo, A320neo and the A321ceo. Previously, the airline used DC-9s and MD-80s. So, if you are an Airbus pilot looking for the next move – consider a career at Spirit Airlines. In 2007 Spirit Airlines began its transition to becoming an ultra-low-cost business model. They cut out every amenity out of the ticket price and if the passenger wanted anything extra, he had to pay an add-on fee. That enabled Spirit Airlines to earn more than 40% of its revenue directly through these add-on fees. Spirit Airlines themselves say that they are committed to offering the lowest prices to their destinations. Currently, Spirit Airlines has over 70 scheduled all year round and seasonal destinations. Spirit Airlines takes pride in its open-minded, creative, relaxed and fun working culture. As the airline has the plans to grow further, it also needs new people to help with the growth. If you are someone who wants an opportunity to become the best in the world of aviation, Spirit Airlines might be the career option for you. Career opportunities include jobs for Pilots, Cabin Crew and engineering staff.
