Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Spirit Aviation Holdings, Inc. (“Spirit”) and its consolidated subsidiaries. The term "Company" is used to refer to (a) Spirit and its consolidated subsidiaries for periods on or after the Emergence Date (as defined below) and (b) Spirit Airlines, Inc. ("Former Spirit") and its consolidated subsidiaries for periods prior to the Emergence Date.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2025.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, the classifications of certain prior year amounts have been adjusted in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes to conform to current year classifications.

The interim results reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full year. The air transportation business is subject to significant seasonal fluctuations as demand is generally greater in the second and third quarters of each year. The air transportation business is volatile and highly affected by economic cycles and trends.

On November 18, 2024, (the “Petition Date”), Former Spirit commenced a voluntary case (the “Chapter 11 Case”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), and, on November 25, 2024, certain of Former Spirit's subsidiaries (together with Former Spirit, the “Company Parties”) also filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and joined the Chapter 11 Case (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”). On February 20, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the "Confirmation Order") confirming the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Spirit Airlines, Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliates (the “Plan”). On March 12, 2025 (the “Emergence Date” or "Effective Date"), the Company Parties emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Plan. Refer to Note 3, Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11, for additional information.

Between the Petition Date and the Emergence Date, the Company Parties operated as debtors-in-possession under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. The effect of the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy has been applied to the financial statements as of close of business on March 12, 2025. As used herein, the following terms refer to the Company and its operations:

"Predecessor"The Company, prior to the Emergence Date
"Current Predecessor Period"The Company's operations, January 1, 2025 – March 12, 2025
"Prior Predecessor Quarter"The Company's operations, January 1, 2024 - March 31, 2024
"Successor"The Company, after the Emergence Date
"Successor Period"The Company's operations, March 13, 2025 - March 31, 2025

In accordance with ASC 852, with the application of fresh start accounting to the Successor Period, the Company allocated its reorganization value to its individual assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value in conformity with FASB ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and FASB ASC Topic 805 - Business Combinations. Accordingly, the Successor Period's condensed consolidated financial statements after March 12, 2025 are not comparable with the Predecessor's condensed consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date. The Effective Date fair values of certain of the Successor’s assets and liabilities differ from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheet of the Predecessor.
Refer to Note 3, Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 and Note 4, Fresh Start Accounting, for additional information.

All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections related to fresh start accounting, including the fair value adjustments, the enterprise value and equity value projections, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution of contingencies beyond the Company's control. Accordingly, no assurances can be provided that the estimates, assumptions, valuations or financial projections will be realized, and actual results could vary materially. For information about the use of estimates relating to fresh start accounting, refer to Note 4, Fresh Start Accounting.

During the Current Predecessor Period, the Predecessor applied ASC 852 in preparing the unaudited financial statements, which requires distinguishing transactions associated with the reorganization separate from activities related to the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, pre-petition liabilities that could have been impacted by the Chapter 11 Cases were classified as liabilities subject to compromise. Additionally, certain expenses, realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that were realized or incurred during and directly related to the Chapter 11 Cases, including fresh start valuation adjustments and gains on liabilities subject to compromise were recorded as reorganization items, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the Current Predecessor Period.

Due to the lack of comparability with historical financials, the Company’s unaudited financial statements and related footnotes are presented with a “black line” that separates the Predecessor and Successor periods to emphasize the lack of comparability between amounts presented as of and after March 12, 2025 (the “Fresh Start Reporting Date”) and amounts presented for all prior periods. The Successor’s financial results for future periods following the application of fresh start accounting will be different from historical trends and the differences may be material. Refer to Note 4, Fresh Start Accounting, for additional information.

The Company evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued for potential recognition or disclosure.

Going Concern

On March 12, 2025, the Company emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Plan. As part of the reorganization, the Company successfully restructured certain of its debt obligations, established new financing arrangements, and issued new equity securities consisting of new common stock and new warrants. However, the Company has continued to be adversely affected by a challenging pricing environment and continues to face challenges and uncertainties in its business operations. The Company expects these trends to continue for at least the remainder of 2025.

The Company has assessed the impact of the current airline industry pricing environment on its liquidity requirements over the next 12 months. Based on such evaluation, the Company has concluded that it is probable the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its future cash needs with cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and management’s current plans, including the implementation of network and product enhancements, including to its Go Comfy travel option, the execution of planned sale leaseback transactions related to certain of its owned spare engines, and the renegotiation of terms with its credit card processor and/or other parties to facilitate payment processing. The Company can give no assurances that its current plans will be successful or that it will be able to secure additional sources of funds to support its operations, or, if such funds are available to the Company, that such additional funds will be on the terms that are acceptable to the Company or sufficient to meet its liquidity needs.
The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue to operate as a going concern and in accordance with ASC 852, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern.
