"Spirit Airlines, known for its bright yellow planes and cheap airfare, will cease all service to and from San Jose Mineta International Airport after filing for bankruptcy for the second time in a year. Service ends Oct. 5, terminating the airline's last remaining route - nonstop flights to Las Vegas. Spirit has steadily eliminated SJC routes to and from Dallas, San Diego, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Baltimore, Portland and Burbank since launching in 2023."
"A Spirit Airlines spokesperson said the company apologizes for any inconvenience the cuts may cause, adding it will continue reaching out and refunding travelers whose flights have been canceled. "We are grateful to the airports, business partners and community members in these markets who welcomed and supported us," the spokesperson told San José Spotlight. "We remain committed to offering high-value travel options.""
Spirit Airlines will cease all service to and from San Jose Mineta International Airport effective Oct. 5 after filing for bankruptcy for the second time in a year. The end of service terminates the airline's last nonstop route to Las Vegas. Spirit previously cut multiple SJC routes to cities including Dallas, San Diego, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Baltimore, Portland and Burbank after launching in 2023. The reductions are part of a broader downsizing that includes service suspensions at Oakland-San Francisco Bay, Sacramento, San Diego international airports and seven other U.S. airports. Spirit said it will refund affected travelers and expressed gratitude to local partners. SJC officials said the single-route removal should not significantly affect airport operations or budget, noted alternative nonstop options, and said the airport would welcome Spirit back if the carrier regains financial stability.
