Spirit Airlines, a major ultra-low-cost carrier in the United States, has undergone significant changes over the last three decades. The airline, which began as Charter One, acquired McDonnell Douglas DC-9 jetliners in 1992 and initially sported a white and blue livery. Over time, Spirit’s branding evolved significantly.

The 1990s marked a period of growth for Spirit Airlines with the addition of McDonnell Douglas MD-80 aircraft. In 2002, Spirit revamped its image with a logo comprising 21 squares in varying shades of blue, with one red square highlighting the 'S' in 'Spirit.' By the mid-2000s, Spirit began its transition to the Airbus A320 family, marking a shift in its fleet composition and livery, featuring silver fuselages with black and gray logos.

Spirit Airlines introduced an eye-catching yellow livery in 2014, paired with a bold marketing campaign named 'Bare Fare.' "The 'Bare Fare' campaign seeks to position the airlines' a la carte offerings as a plus and features videos and FAQs to educate the consumer on the Spirit Airline business model," notes RBB Communications. The campaign emphasized low-cost travel as the airline's primary value proposition.

In 2024, Spirit launched a new brand campaign called "More Go," incorporating teal accents into its iconic yellow and black livery. "Spirit is celebrating the transformation of its Guest experience by unveiling a reimagined brand identity that pays homage to its past while capturing the vision for its future," explains Spirit Airlines. This campaign aligned with the introduction of four new fare options: Go Big, Go Comfy, Go Savvy, and Go. The 'Just Go' fare options offer varying levels of additional comfort and service.

The company's CEO, Ted Christie, has overseen these transformative phases, steering Spirit Airlines through the competitive landscape of ultra-low-cost travel. As Spirit continues to evolve, it remains a distinctive presence in the commercial aviation sector.
