Spirit Airlines is discontinuing service to Birmingham- Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM) effective October 3rd.

The low-fare airline notified BHM after a second bankruptcy filing in August. The troubled airline is also ending service at ten other airports in the U.S.

What’s next for Spirit travelers

Spirit Airlines began service at BHM in October of 2024 with nonstop flights to Ft. Lauderdale. The airline later added nonstops to both Newark and Detroit.

According to a BHM news release, here is how Spirit customers can seek refunds.

“A spokesperson for Spirit Airlines confirms that customers who have booked flights after the end-of-service date will be notified via email about the change and will be provided information on how to get refunds. Customers can contact Spirit Airlines via the “Contact Us” section of their website https://www.spirit.com/s/contact-us.”
