Why Spirit Failed (And Ryanair Never Will)

Why Spirit Failed (And Ryanair Never Will)

Spirit Airlines has collapsed, and 15,000 jobs are gone. We break down why ultra-low-cost aviation fails in the US, how the Iran conflict was the final blow, and why the Biden administration's blocked JetBlue merger may have sealed Spirit's fate. We also cover Singapore Airlines delaying its $835M cabin overhaul to 2027, their frustratingly slow Starlink rollout, and the viral foot massage photo that fooled the internet. Plus: British Airways quietly cutting Club Europe antimacassars, the chaos of aviation misinformation on social media, and Dan's firsthand account of having a disruptive passenger offloaded mid-boarding. All that On-Air with Dan and Alex.
