The crew hub, which serves as a home base for 157 Spirit pilots and flight attendants, will close Sept. 1.
Spirit Airlines plans to shut down its crew base at Atlantic City International Airport in the fall, but service at the airport will continue.
On average, Spirit Airlines sees eight to 10 departures from Atlantic City a day, depending on the season, and about half of the flights travel to Florida. The crew base closure also stems from a shortage of Pratt & Whitney engines, which has caused Spirit to ground many of its aircraft. The company recent reached a compensation agreement with Pratt & Whitney that would “improve Spirit’s liquidity” by up to $200 million, the company previously announced.
