Spirit Airlines' First-ever Holiday Aircraft to Take Flight

DANIA BEACH – Spirit Airlines’ (NK) first-ever holiday aircraft livery is expected to take to the skies this week, showing off its holiday sweater with snowman and gingerbread man design. The livery will remain in place on aircraft N628NK throughout the winter.

The airline is also preparing to welcome guests on 8,900+ flights during its peak holiday travel period, running from Dec. 19, 2025, through Jan. 5, 2026. Travelers will find that NK is offering more premium seats this holiday season. The airline is also spreading the magic of the holidays with its first-ever festive concerts, activations, and more.

"Delivering the best value on travel means even more when it brings families and friends together for the holidays," said Rana Ghosh, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Spirit Airlines. "We can't wait to welcome our Guests on board this holiday season and continue connecting them to the people and places they love most in 2026."

During the NK peak travel period, the airline will:

• Operate more than 8,900 Spirit scheduled flights.
• Serve more than 3,000 cups of hot chocolate on board.
• Fly its aircraft over 8.9 million scheduled miles, enough to wrap holiday lights around the Earth more than 350 times.

Sponsoring iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball

Spirit is the official airline sponsor of iHeartRadio Y100.7's Jingle Ball in Miami and sponsor of the iHeartRadio 103.5 KISS FM's Jingle Ball in Chicago and iHeartRadio Channel 95.5's Jingle Ball in Detroit this year. The airline's partnership with Jingle Ball helps bring festive performances to the communities it serves this holiday season.

The new livery unveiling comes days after NK's parent company amended its debtor-in-possession (DIP) credit agreement, unlocking an additional US$100 million in financing to support the carrier’s ongoing Chapter 11 restructuring. The move signals continued lender confidence as the ultra-low-cost carrier works toward a standalone reorganization or a potential strategic transaction.
