It’s been a sad day for the aviation industry. Although Spirit Airlines served as the punchline for various jokes, provided content for many questionable viral videos, and was unmistakable in the sky with their unprecedented yellow paint job, they were more than most people saw.

Spirit, as we knew them yesterday, began flying back in 1992. Before that, the company dates back to 1983 when it was known as Charter One Airlines.

It wasn’t too long ago that Spirit was turning one of the best profits in the industry. They were also known for being one of the best places to work, with one of the best pilot contracts.

Today, we wish all of the thousands of former Spirit employees the best in their future careers, and we want them to know that the aviation community supports them.

Devastating news out of LaGuardia last night where Jazz Airlines flight 646 (Air Canada connection), collided with an airport fire truck just after landing. The two pilots are confirmed dead. We’ll wait for the NTSB to give more information.

UNUSUAL: FAA suspends all flights within a 10 mile radius of El Paso, TX below 18,000ft. This includes all airline & cargo flights to and from ELP Airport.

The story is developing and the FAA has only sited "security" as the reason as of the time of this post.
