The airline said it anticipated delays might continue and suggested passengers "please plan on arriving early."

The airline further advised travelers "check their flight status" before heading for the airport.

Spirit Airlines, which could eventually be acquired by JetBlue, caused fury among passengers in August 2021, when 40-percent of their flights were canceled in a single day.

Stranded travelers spent days in the nation's airports and were largely left in the dark about what was happening.

It took an entire week for Spirit's schedule to stabilize

According to FlightAware, Spirit has already canceled 14 scheduled flights today, with 278 other Spirit flights delayed.
