The Spirit plane, which had been bound for Orlando, was taken out of service. Travelers were otherwise accommodated. “Guests deplaned normally, and no injuries to Spirit Guests or Team Members were reported,” Spirit said. “Safety is our top priority, and the aircraft was removed from service to be evaluated by our maintenance team.
