Investor Update
April 17, 2017
This investor update provides Spirit's first quarter 2017 guidance. All data is based on preliminary estimates.
First quarter 2017 TRASM declined 4.3 percent year over year, primarily driven by the calendar shift of Easter which we estimate accounted for 350 basis points of the year-over-year decline. In addition, as we noted previously, we estimate the tragic Fort Lauderdale airport event and winter storm Helena together contributed another 75 basis point decline to first quarter 2017 TRASM. As anticipated, booking trends for the second quarter look strong and that, coupled with the momentum we receive from positive TRASM year to date through April, leads us to expect second quarter TRASM will be positive year over year, even without including any benefit from the timing of the Easter holiday shift from March in 2016 to April in this year.
