Spirit bankruptcy sets back flight connectivity in rural America · Reuters

(Reuters) -Spirit Airlines will suspend 40 routes in its November schedule and has hired former Amazon executive Andrea Lusso as vice president of network planning, according to a memo seen by Reuters.

“These network changes include multiple routes that are seasonal or only operate on certain days of the week,” the low-budget carrier said in the memo.

Earlier this week, Spirit furloughed one-third of its flight attendants as the carrier grapples with dwindling cash and mounting losses.

In August, it filed for its second bankruptcy this year.
