Spirit CE says airline soaring past reputation of bad service
Despite getting a bad rap from customers for its service over the years, Spirit Airlines CE Ted Christie said the carrier’s recent spike in passengers is proof it’s getting past that reputation. Last year Spirit saw a 25% jump in passenger volume at McCarran International , going from 3.41m in 2017 to 4.26m in 2018. The carrier has seen that surge spill over into 2019, seeing a 21% spike in passengers through March. The strong growth suggests travellers are looking at the airline in a different light, said Christie, who took the helm of the airline Jan 1. “I think that perception was grounded in the execution of the product,” Looking to build off its recent growth even further, Spirit will launch two new nonstop routes between Las Vegas and Sacramento and Burbank, California, next month. <br/>
