We saw Spirit Airlines cease operations early this morning, after losing money for seven years straight, and filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy twice. It goes without saying that Spirit going out of business is a bit of a relief for some of the other airlines in the country that are losing money and struggling, like Frontier and JetBlue.
Along those lines, JetBlue is wasting no time adjusting its route network, in order to fill the void left by Spirit, and hopefully improve its own economics.
JetBlue hasn’t exactly been growing in recent times, so any additions in flying will need to come at the expense of existing flying. That’s why JetBlue’s planned base changes are pretty revealing.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
