“So that started this on the wrong trajectory to begin with”

Last week, we talked with Steve Giordano from Nomadic Aviation Group about bringing a whole mess of former Spirit Airlines planes into storage in the desert.

This week, we've got an update on how many they've brought and how much money Spirit lost in its final month of operation.

Oof.

Or not even the final month.

Its penultimate month of operation.

So we don't actually know how much they lost in the final month yet.

But nearly all, all except one that I can find, of the leased Spirit aircraft have made it into storage or onward to their next destination.

A few have gone to MROs in San Salvador and in Hamilton, Canada.

The rest have gone to, to storage, most of which have gone to storage in the Arizona desert.

The only remaining, save for one, aircraft that need to be moved are those that were owned by Spirit Airlines.

They're all in the same kind of bank of registration.

So maybe those were owned aircraft with no-

Yeah, those are all owned.

Yeah, no immediate future, unfortunately.

Yeah, don't know what happens with those, but they haven't moved.

All f- I expected one or maybe two of them to move, but not a one.

Maybe we can make an offer.

I don't wanna go to New Jersey.

I can't argue with that.
