Spirit Airlines Wins Low Cost Airline of the Year at CAPA World Aviation Awards
December 06 2019 - 10:00AM
Spirit Airlines (NYSE: SAVE) is celebrating another major award,
receiving global recognition as the Low Cost Airline of the Year at
the CAPA (Centre for Aviation) World Aviation Summit. CAPA, part of
the Aviation Week Network, is one of the world’s most trusted
sources of market intelligence for the aviation and travel
industry.
CAPA's Aviation Awards for Excellence are regarded as the
pre-eminent awards for strategic excellence in aviation. The Low
Cost Airline of the Year Award goes to the “low cost or hybrid
airline that has been the biggest standout strategically, has
established itself as a leader, has been the most innovative, and
provided a benchmark for others to follow.”
“Spirit Airlines has made the ULCC model in North America
mainstream, and its growth has arguably resulted in the creation of
fare classes in the marketplace, resulting in passengers having
more choices and airlines improving their revenue management,” said
CAPA Chairman Emeritus Peter Harbison.
“We are committed to providing the best value in the sky, and
this award recognizes our mission to deliver an extraordinary Guest
experience, while keeping our costs and fares competitive,” said
Ted Christie, Spirit Airlines’ President and Chief Executive
Officer. “Spirit continues to invest in the Guest experience and
set the pace as America’s fastest-growing airline with our reliable
on-time operation, one of the youngest, most fuel-efficient fleets
in the U.S., and an enhanced inflight experience with new, more
comfortable seats and an updated cabin design. This award is
testament to the hard work of our entire Spirit Family across the
U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean, and a milestone in Spirit’s
continued evolution to deliver More Go.”
The new accolades are adding up for Spirit lately,
including:
- Spirit was honored as Air Transport World’s Value Airline of
the Year.
- The Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) gave Spirit
a Four Star Rating in 2020, the highest honor in the category, as
part of its Official Airline Ratings (OAR).
- FlightGlobal ranked Spirit as the country’s most on-time
Low-Cost Airline in its annual On-Time Performance Service (OPS)
Awards.
