Weather and some “operational challenges” resulted in a number of Spirit Airlines flight delays and cancellations over the weekend, the South Florida-based airline said Monday.
According to tracking service Flightaware.com., 227 Spirit flights were canceled Monday and 58 flights were delayed.
Multiple flights from Indianapolis, including a route to Orlando, were among those canceled.
“We needed to make proactive cancellations to some flights across the network, but the majority of flights are still scheduled as planned,” Spirit spokesperson Field Sutton said in an email.
Spirit, which launched routes to and from Indianapolis beginning in 2018, offers nonstop service from Indianapolis International Airport to Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport and Orlando International Airport, as well as service to Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers in Floridan. It also offers seasonal service to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Dozens of Spirit flights were canceled Sunday at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Orlando International, news outlets reported.
Sutton said the airline is “working around the clock to get back on track” following the cancellations.
The airline said in a statement that it is working to find solutions for affected customers.
