Spirit Airlines has clinched prestigious accolades for its commitment to a modern, efficient fleet. The airline’s “Fit Fleet®” is comprised entirely of Airbus aircraft. The carrier has earned significant recognition in the 2025 ch-aviation awards.
The leading airline intelligence provider bestowed Spirit with North America’s 3rd Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award and the World’s 5th Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award. The latter was specifically within the category of airlines operating over 100 aircraft.

These awards highlight Spirit’s dedication to maintaining a contemporary fleet, a strategy that yields substantial operational efficiencies and fosters environmental responsibility. Utilizing newer aircraft translates to reduced fuel consumption and emissions, contributing to a more sustainable aviation industry.

John Bendoraitis, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Spirit Airlines gave comments on the latest accolade. “Spirit’s Fit Fleet is a stand-out in the industry,” he stated. Bendoraitis emphasized that “our investment in newer aircraft provides our Guests with a more comfortable journey.”
Beyond passenger comfort, the fleet’s modernity offers “operational efficiencies and sustainability benefits that make a real difference to our business.”
Bendoraitis also extended gratitude to Spirit’s team members for their diligent maintenance and to Airbus for their valuable partnership.
This recognition from ch-aviation builds upon Spirit’s recent achievements. The airline has consistently prioritized safety and operational excellence. This was evident in its seventh consecutive Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Diamond Award of Excellence.
Furthermore, WalletHub recently ranked Spirit highly for both safety and affordability, solidifying its position as a leading low-fare carrier.
