Spirit to Leave Bradley Oct. 31 and Minneapolis Dec. 1 in Restructuring

The carrier cites a shift to focus on stronger markets, with refunds to be issued to affected travelers.

Overview

  • Spirit confirmed it will end service at Hartford’s Bradley International on Oct. 31, 2025, and at Minneapolis–St. Paul on Dec. 1, 2025.
  • The airline said it will contact customers with affected reservations to issue refunds and does not anticipate further airport exits in the near term.
  • At Bradley, Spirit holds a 3.0% passenger share, and all of its nonstop destinations are already served by other airlines, so no routes will be lost for travelers.
  • Company statements frame the exits as part of a court‑supervised network reset to concentrate on stronger markets following a blocked JetBlue merger and 2025 bankruptcy proceedings.
  • Spirit began flying from Bradley in 2017 and added a Detroit nonstop earlier this year, which will cease with the departure.
