Try to avoid posting Fr24 screenshots by themselves as you’ve been told before. I would suggest editing this to show a picture of the actual livery and then give credit to the author, otherwise this post will be flagged as spam

It is now looking like they could pause operations entirely within a week or so. it is kinda sad, but then again spirit is never an airline i have particularly rooted for haha. That said, a loss of any north american airline sucks given how comparatively few there are left.

Yes, while the U.S. is the country with the most airlines in the world, the loss of spirit is going to be sad. Sometimes the banana buses look cool around the airports :laughing: . Frontier is now the biggest ultra low cost airline in the U.S. which is also kind of crazy

Biggest ULCC but not even close to the biggest low cost. Southwest and arguably JetBlue are significantly bigger. Also, I would be very surprised if the US had the most airlines. China seems far more likely.

In canada we only got one ULCC flair… there alright but they seem like what there doing is following in westjets footsteps. some say westjet is a lowcost i would say yes but there turning more into a hybrid between lowcost and flag carrier (or something close to that) we did have more (sunwing, swoop lynx and the not so well known canada jetline) swoop and sunwing got taken by westjet. lynx and jetline went bankrupt… now we have to pay 12,000 canadian buckos to air canada or air transat to go to europe what im trying to say (and not doing a good job at it lol) is theres cheaper flights out of america because of more competition… in canada… its only mainsteam or flagship (i forgot the name, im so sorry :sweat_smile:)

I’m just gonna put this here: My guess is that Alaska’s next route, or one of them, will be SEA-SYD, and it would be announced soon and start flying this November. There has been a lot of stuff recently that would point to it, and it is logically one of the best destinations available to them.

Right now, the President of Italy, Sergio Mattarella, land with a GLF6 at the airbase of Rivolto, in Friuli Venezia Giulia, for attending the celebration of the 50° Years of the Earthwake of 6.5 power in the Richter scale (very much) that happend the 6th May of 1976. It is an important celebration for remember all the people who died in tht moment, the earthwake was so strong that it can be “heared” even in Austria and the Ex-Jugoslavia. :italy:
