Spirit blamed “overlapping operational challenges” for the problems.
The airline said many of the cancellations were part of a “thorough reboot of the network, allowing us to reassign our crews more efficiently and restore the network faster.”Īviation industry officials said the busy summer travel season, combined with the lingering impact of the coronavirus pandemic, has complicated airline scheduling and added to logistical problems. Spirit canceled 17 flights at PHL on Monday and seven on Tuesday. The Philadelphia data came from the Spirit Airlines website. Spirit canceled more than 800 flights over two days, including 61% of its flights Tuesday, according to aviation data firm FlightAware. The union representing Spirit's flight attendants said the company was addressing the meltdown by using procedures developed to recover from hurricanes. Spirit Airlines canceled more than half of its flights Wednesday - including at least 13 of 17 arrivals or departures at Philadelphia International Airport - and apologized to customers for severe disruptions in recent days.
