Every aircraft in the fleet also uses state-of-the-art HEPA which filter 99.7 percent of airborne particulates, including viruses, every three minutes. The carrier has also introduced enhanced aircraft cleaning procedures between every flight using hospital-grade disinfectants on high-touch areas such as tray tables and armrests. Additionally, Spirit uses two EPA-registered flogging treatments, with the first applying a high-grade disinfectant effective against COVID-19 and the second forming an invisible antimicrobial barrier.
South Florida-based low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines typically operates over 650 daily flights to 77 destinations in the US, Latin America and the Caribbean. The airline allows customers to select and pay for only the products and services they want, something they call “À La Smarte.” Spirit also operates one of the youngest and most fuel-efficient fleets in the U.S. and recently firmed up an order for 100 new Airbus A320neo Family aircraft.
