EnvironmentSpirit’s unique business model minimizes

environmental impact

FUEL SAVINGS• Young fleet: Spirit Airlines has one of the youngest fleets of any U.S. airline. Newer

aircraft provide substantially higher fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.• Next-generation “Neo” Aircraft: Spirit was the first North American carrier to operate

the “new engine option” (“Neo”) version of the Airbus A320 aircraft, powered by the most fuel-efficient engine ever made for this aircraft class. This revolutionary technology advance reduces the acoustic footprint by up to 50% and consumes 15-20% less fuel, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Spirit expects to have 68 Neo aircraft by year-end 2021. All new aircraft delivering beyond 2021 will be A320Neo family aircraft.

• Aircraft density: More seats per aircraft mean smaller carbon footprint per passenger and increased fuel efficiency (seat miles per gallon). Spirit is consistently an industry leader in lowest fuel consumption per passenger.

• Flight Operations: Spirit integrates our objective of high fuel efficiency into the way we fly. We use optimized energy approach paths for landings which reduce aircraft speed and noise, and conserve fuel.

SAFETY• Safety Risk Management System (SRMS): SRMS is the primary tool used to promote

safety programs that provides Spirit the ability to anticipate and address safety issues before they lead to incidents or accidents. SRMS also allows Spirit to collect valuable information to implement process improvements in response to incidents. Additionally, SRMS produces a structured framework for safety risk management decision making, promotes a Just Safety Culture, ensures a safe operation for our Team Members, a safe journey for our Guests, and helps facilitate best practices within the organization and throughout the industry.

• Diamond Award of Excellence: For 2018, Spirit’s Tech Ops team won the FAA’s Diamond Award of Excellence – the FAA’s highest award for aviation maintenance technicians and employers. The prestigious award recognizes aviation companies that initiate highly effective training programs aimed at improving safety, quality, reliability and technical knowledge that exceed standard FAA regulatory requirements.

• JACDEC: Spirit Airlines is consistently ranked as one of the safest carriers in the world by JACDEC, a global leader in airline safety. In their last safety study, we ranked among the Top 10 safest airlines - the only North American airline among the Top 10.

Spirit strives to generate environmental value through new initiatives and practices

NEW INITIATIVES AND PRACTICES

• New Fuel Policy: Spirit’s Fuel Policy update went into effect on September 9, 2019, with a goal of reducing excess planned extra fuel by over 1,200 lbs. to save weight and fuel burn. This new fuel policy is expected to save between 1.5 to 2 million gallons of fuel consumption in its first full year.

• New innovative and efficient seat design: Spirit’s new seats, padded with ultra-light weight foam and made of a composite skeleton, add comfort without increasing weight, maintaining high fuel efficiency on Spirit’s Fit Fleet. Our future Acro 6 seats will be 2.6 lbs. lighter per Guest than our current Acro 3 seats.

• New Flight Attendant Manuals: The Company eliminated all paper FAMs (Flight Attendant Manuals) and now use an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) for 4000+ Flight Attendants, which substantially reduces paper, waste, printing and trees.

• New M Cabin Software: The software will allow us to eliminate many hard copy documents that the Flight Attendants use, like the Briefing document and Guest manifests.

• New Hybrite S Line Galley carts: Our new Hybrite Full and Half galley carts are 4 and 3 lbs. lighter, respectively, than our current galley carts, which will save over 36 million gallons of fuel annually, once fully rolled out.

• More Green: Spirit is currently using recycled paper for our adult Café snack boxes and is working to eliminate our Styrofoam coffee cups and plastic straws and replace them with paper cups and wooden stirrers.

• Use of Ground Power Unit (“GPU”) Vs. Auxiliary Power Unit(“APU”): Spirit is moving towards using more Ground Power Units to power the aircraft when the engines are off, rather than using less efficient fuel-powered Auxiliary Power Units to do so, which in turn reduces carbon emissions.
