Investor Update
July 17, 2017
This investor update provides Spirit's second quarter 2017 guidance. All data is based on preliminary estimates.
Second quarter 2017 total revenue per available seat mile (TRASM) increased approximately 5.5 percent year over year on a capacity increase of 13.6 percent. This capacity increase was lower than the revised quarterly guidance the Company issued on June 8, 2017 primarily due to pilot-related flight cancellations. The Company re-accommodated many of the customers impacted by these cancellations on its own flights or on flights flown by other carriers, thus retaining a portion of the revenue related to the canceled available seat miles which accounted for approximately 50 basis points of the TRASM outperformance compared to its revised guidance given on June 8, 2017.
