Spirit Airlines Flight

A Spirit Airlines jetliner headed for Haiti's troubled capital was hit by gunfire with one flight attendant suffering minor injuries, the US carrier said Monday.

Teresa Araujo took to social media to share her side of the story, posting a series of videos recounting the events leading up to her and her friend Tara Kehidi's removal from the Spirit Airlines flight.

Spirit Airlines apologised and said in a statement, "We apologise to our guests for this experience, which does not reflect Spirit's high standards for guest services."

Spirit Airlines confirmed the leak happened on Monday's flight 1595

The statement did not address how the error came to take place, but a spokesperson said an internal investigation was underway.

In a clip, a flight attendant told passengers aboard Flight 1736 that "we are not allowed to deplane even though you've been here for over an hour."

The woman claims that she waited for two hours and "couldn't hold it anymore".

The announcement was made on low-cost Spirit Airlines in the US, on a Dallas to Los Angeles flight.

"Just text me." That's the pitch Spirit Airlines is making to customers looking to book flights on the go. Starting Sept. 1, customers can message the discount carrier over WhatsApp to start making reservations, ask questions or modify their travel. The service will be available in English and Spanish.

Federal authorities in Michigan arrested a 34-year-old man after a woman said that he sexually assaulted her on an overnight flight when she fell asleep next to him.

The holiday spirit was in short supply on Christmas Eve for two minor-league basketball players who were trying to get to a game in Iowa.

Spirit Airlines Inc passengers brawled in a Florida airport late on Monday after the budget carrier, which is in dispute with its pilots, cancelled several flights.

Four US airlines cancelled dozens of flights to and from Mexico City's international airport on Thursday after the Popocatepetl volcano blew ash and steam skyward, officials said.

Shares in Kingfisher Airlines dropped sharply on Wednesday, after slumping nearly 5 per cent in each of the previous two sessions. The debt laden carrier cancelled all flights through Thursday because of labour unrest and after being ordered to submit a revival plan before it can fly again.

Shares in Kingfisher Airlines traded lower for a second straight day, falling nearly 5 per cent at Rs 15.35. The latest jolt for the domestic carrier came after a section of engineers went on strike on Sunday evening protesting non-payment of salaries.
