There has indeed been some bad weather in the past week, but ultimately this just seems to be a good old fashioned airline summer meltdown that happens every so often, except to the extreme.

Spirit Airlines is blaming weather and staffing issues for the number of cancelations we’re seeing. Hopefully by early next week the airline can get below 10% cancelations, but who really knows at this point… Spirit canceled up to 61% of flights on a given day Why are so many Spirit flights being canceled? But to still see over 20% of flights canceled six days into this mess is pretty bad.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were worst for Spirit, and things are slowly but surely improving. The good news at this point is that it looks like the worst is behind us. When you add it up, we’ve seen around 1,900 flights canceled, which is an absolutely shocking number over the course of a week. On Saturday, August 7, 2021, Spirit canceled 170 flights (23% of the schedule) this is only as of 2PM ET, so I imagine we’ll see some more cancelations.On Friday, August 6, 2021, Spirit canceled 351 flights (44% of the schedule).

On Thursday, August 5, 2021, Spirit canceled 449 flights (56% of the schedule).On Wednesday, August 4, 2021, Spirit canceled 427 flights (60% of the schedule).On Tuesday, August 3, 2021, Spirit canceled 429 flights (61% of the schedule).On Monday, August 2, 2021, Spirit canceled 334 flights (42% of the schedule).On Sunday, August 1, 2021, Spirit canceled 165 flights (19% of the schedule).Since last weekend, Spirit Airlines has had an operational meltdown on a completely different level than anything else we’ve seen.
