Spirit Airlines glitch that caused delays at Charleston’s airport resolved

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Spirit Airlines says it has resolved a network issue that caused delays at multiple airports nationwide including Charleston International Airport.

Charleston’s airport website showed delays for two Spirit Airlines flights Thursday as the airline reported technical issues.

The airline said on social media earlier on Thursday that its website, app and airport kiosks were down for a few hours. That resulted in delays and long customer lines at some airports.

Shortly after noon, however, it reported the issue had been resolved and advised passengers to check their flight status and plan on arriving at the airport early.

“Guests whose travel plans were affected should speak with a guest service agent at the airport or reach out to Spirit Airlines Guest Care via the ‘Contact Us’ section of Spirit.com,” a post on the airline’s Twitter account states.

The Charleston International Airport did not respond to a request for comment about the delayed flights listed on their website.
