Spirit Airlines Parent Gains NYSE Approval for ‘FLYY’ Stock

Spirit Aviation Holdings, the parent company of Spirit Airlines, has announced that its common stock has been approved for listing on the NYSE American exchange. Trading will commence on April 29, 2025, under the ticker symbol ‘FLYY’, marking a key milestone in the airline’s financial recovery.

Dave Davis, president and CEO of Spirit Aviation Holdings, stated that the listing represents a significant step in the company’s ongoing reorganisation. “We remain focused on returning to profitability and positioning our airline for long-term success,” he said in a statement. The move signals renewed investor confidence following a challenging period for the low-cost carrier.

Spirit Airlines’ previous listing on the New York Stock Exchange was terminated in November 2024 after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The airline emerged from the restructuring process in March 2025, having streamlined operations and secured financing to stabilize its balance sheet.

The reentry into public trading is seen as a fresh opportunity for Spirit to regain market traction and attract investor support. The NYSE American exchange, known for accommodating emerging growth companies, offers Spirit a platform to rebuild shareholder value while continuing to focus on operational improvements and competitive pricing in the ultra-low-cost segment.

The airline, based at Fort Lauderdale International Airport, remains a key player in the U.S. domestic and near-international travel markets, with a strong presence in leisure-focused routes. The new listing is expected to support Spirit’s strategic growth plans as it aims to rebuild its fleet and expand its network.
