AerSale Will Find New Homes For Planes Abandoned By Failing Airline Rows of Spirit Airlines jets in the airline’s trademark yellow livery can still be seen in metro Phoenix, but they are parked on the tarmac near Goodyear Airport instead of Sky Harbor. Dozens of the carrier’s planes are being maintained by the AerSale aircraft maintenance facility in Goodyear, said Jackie Carlon, the company’s senior vice president of marketing and communication, in an interview with KTAR.com. She said the planes were leased by Spirit. However, the company’s financial troubles in late 2025 caused it to leave a group of jets stranded.
