Spirit Airlines has filed its latest schedule update, with the low-cost carrier’s schedules indicating that its Q2 2026 capacity, measured in available seat kilometers (ASKs), will be around 40% lower compared to Q2 2025.
The low-cost carrier’s latest schedule shows just how much it plans to shrink as it continues undergoing its second Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, during which it plans to exit as a leaner and much smaller airline.
Per Cirium’s Diio Mi, in Q2, Spirit Airlines will offer 39.7% fewer flights and 38.4% fewer overall departing seats during the three-month period, resulting in a capacity, measured in ASKs, reduction of 40.3%.
During the quarter, Spirit Airlines will continue focusing on its operations from Florida. In Q2 2025, 26.7% of its ASKs were scheduled from the state, with the share growing to 34.6% in Q2 2026.
Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (FLL) will become an even more important part of its network, with 17.7% of its total capacity, measured in ASKs, departing from the airport in Q2. During the same three-month period in 2025, the share was 12.4%.
It will make the deepest cuts at Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), where capacity will be slashed by 76.7% YoY. As a result, LAS, which was Spirit Airlines’ second-largest airport in its network in Q2 2025, will become the 10th busiest airport in terms of ASKs.
By the end of the quarter, in June, Spirit Airlines will no longer fly from 19 airports in the United States that it had operated from in June 2025s, including Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), Oakland International Airport (OAK), and San Diego International Airport (SAN).
In June, Spirit Airlines’ weekly departing flights, seats, and ASKs will be 43.3%, 42.3%, and 44.3% lower year-on-year (YoY). Looking at Spirit Airlines’ route maps for June 2025 and June 2026, it is clear that Spirit Airlines will focus on flying along the East Coast of the United States, with some exceptions.
West of the Rocky Mountains, it will only serve five airports, including LAS and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

During the month, there are not many airports where the airline plans to grow. In fact, there are only three: Atlantic City International Airport (ACY), San Juan Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (SJU), and Palm Beach International Airport (PBI).
Of the 44 airports it will serve in June, Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (FLL) will remain its busiest, with 409 weekly flights, 127 fewer than in June 2025. Orlando International Airport (MCO) will rank second with 305 weekly departures, 114 fewer YoY.
