Miramar, Florida (March 13, 2013) – Spirit Airlines (NASDAQ: SAVE) today reported its preliminary traffic results for February 2013.

Load factor for February 2013 was 83.2 percent, a decrease of 2.0 points as compared to February 2012. “We believe the strength in demand we are experiencing in March will fully offset the load factor decline experienced in February, which was primarily driven by Northeast schools canceling their winter break,” said Ben Baldanza, Spirit’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
