The airline plans to take delivery of seven more new A321neo aircraft in 2023, with 24 more scheduled for delivery in 2024, in addition to other A320 Family aircraft deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The A321 is the largest member of the Airbus A320 Family, and Spirit currently operates 30 A321neo aircraft in its fleet of nearly 200 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/04\/spirit-airlines-adds-new-routes-to-boston-this-summer.html\">Spirit Airlines adds new routes to Boston this summer<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Adding this new A320 Family variant to our fleet is a feat that has been years in the making. I am grateful to all of our team members who have made it possible for us to increase our capabilities and open the door to new horizons for Spirit,&#8221; said Ted Christie, President and CEO of Spirit Airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spirit is currently undergoing a fleet renewal process as it retires its A319ceo aircraft while adding larger, more modern aircraft to increase capacity and fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The airline recently closed a deal to sell 29 of its A319ceo aircraft, which are the oldest in its fleet. Spirit plans to retire all of its A319ceo aircraft by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
