“At Spirit, we are very proud of our growth and success as an airline and as a team,” said Spirit’s President and CEO, Bob Fornaro. “We are expanding our fleet, adding new routes, focusing on improving our operations and customer experience, all while delivering on our promise to deliver ultra-low fares. These two individuals will help drive that vision, bringing valuable insight and experiences to help us achieve our goals and reach new heights as an airline.”
