Spirit Airlines receives its 200th aircraft
Spirit Airlines reported Monday that it has welcomed its 200th aircraft, an A320neo (N973NK) that was assembled at the Airbus facility in Mobile, Alabama.
The airline introduced 14 new aircraft in 2022, with plans to add 26 in 2023.
Spirit transitioned to an all-Airbus fleet in 2006, and currently operates one of the most fuel-efficient fleets in the industry, with an average age of about seven years.

Jeffrey Knittel, President and CEO of Airbus Americas.
