Spirit Airlines, Inc. was an American ultra-low-cost airline headquartered in Dania Beach, Florida, in the Miami metropolitan area. The airline operated scheduled flights throughout the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America. In 2023, it was the seventh-largest passenger carrier in North America and the region's largest ultra-low-cost carrier. In 1983, the airline service was founded in Macomb County, Michigan, by Ned Homfeld as Charter One Airlines, a Detroit-based charter tour operator providing travel packages to entertainment destinations such as Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and the Bahamas. In 2026, the carrier faced a sharp rise in jet-fuel prices, leaving Spirit Airlines unable to sustain its low-cost model and the ceased operations.
