Spirit Airlines is making sweeping capacity cuts as it looks to readjust its network post-bankruptcy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An analysis of data from Cirium showed that Spirit would have around a 16% decrease in seats for the second quarter. Spirit\u2019s capacity at its busiest airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, is also down 16%.<\/p>\n

Some of Spirit\u2019s biggest cuts are in the Northeast and West Coast regions in the U.S. Capacity at LaGuardia is down at around 47% and down close to 34% at Los Angeles International Airport for the second quarter. Capacity at San Diego is down by nearly 45%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the ultra-low-cost carrier appears to be making a play for Atlanta, which is a major hub for Delta Air Lines. Spirit is increasing its capacity at Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport by 26%. The carrier\u2019s biggest rival, Frontier Airlines, recently announced a route expansion at the airport, adding nine new destinations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe routinely evaluate our network and make adjustments to support the company’s business strategy based on current market and operating conditions,\u201d Spirit said in a statement to Skift. \u201cAs part of this process, we adjusted our upcoming schedule to optimize network capacity and better align with travel demand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spirit to Exit Bankruptcy<\/h2>\n

The deep capacity cuts come as a U.S. bankruptcy judge approved Spirit\u2019s restructuring plan on February 20.<\/p>\n

Spirit\u2019s restructuring plan includes a bankruptcy exit through a take-private deal backed by lenders. The carrier\u2019s top bondholders, which include Citadel Advisors, Pacific Investment Management Co., Western Asset Management Co. and UBS Asset Management, will receive control of the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spirit previously said it expects to exit bankruptcy in the coming weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The carrier filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November, months after its proposed merger with JetBlue was struck down in court. Spirit has struggled to turn a profit in recent years for a variety of reasons, including Pratt & Whitney engine issues and sustained demand for premium and international travel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cuts are also part of Spirit\u2019s plan to operate as a standalone carrier.\u00a0 Spirit executives proposed in a regulatory filing in November that the company would realign its network to focus on more profitable routes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
