Spirit delays flights and passengers due to voluntary engine inspections

Spirit Airlines (Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood) yesterday suffered through a series of delayed flights disrupting the travel plans of hundreds of passengers, especially at its FLL hub. Some passengers waited up to almost 12 hours for their aircraft to be cleared. Spirit took the extraordinary step to perform voluntary engine inspections of their fleet in the wake of an engine failure on an Airbus A319 last week flying between Dallas/Fort Worth to Atlanta. The A319 suffered an uncontained engine failure and returned safely to DFW.

Spirit announced its inspection have been completed and operations are getting back to normal.
