Spirit Airlines is proud to be recognized for its Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging (DEI&B) efforts for SFBW’s 2024 Diversity & Inclusion Awards. Spirit is committed to creating opportunities for its Team Members to thrive in a diverse and inclusive environment, allowing the Spirit Family to bring their true, authentic self to the workplace and reach their potential. The South Florida-based airline implemented strategies in four areas: Grow Community Outreach & Social Responsibility, Ensure Equitable & Inclusive Total Rewards, Creating an Environment of Inclusion for All, and Foster Belonging Through Representation. In 2023, Spirit exceeded the air transportation industry averages for diversified and increased gender representation, including female director representation, increasing 13% from the previous year. Additionally, Spirit supported its seven Team Member Resource Groups that empower Women, Black, LGBTQIA+, Asian, Latinx, Veteran, and Third Culture Individual Team Members and their allies. The airline also expanded the uniform and image standards policy to all Flight Attendants and Guest Service Agents, allowing these Team Members to dress in ways they feel best represent their identities. Lastly, the Spirit Charitable Foundation donated $490,000 to DEI&B–focused nonprofits that serve underrepresented communities through the Spirit Charitable Foundation in 2023.
