In addition to Spirit's usual livery, the artist's face will adorn the aft fuselage of the jet. There are also details of an upcoming sweepstakes that will be announced during the evening. "We know a lot of our Guests miss going to concerts," Spirit Airlines Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Bobby Schroeter said in a statement seen by Simple Flying. "Inviting Brett Young to play at the airport is our way of bringing them that experience. We're giving everyone who attends the concert 100 Free Spirit points to show them how quickly their points add up and how easy it is to redeem them, which they can do for every fare on every flight." Mr Schroeter continued.  Excited to kick off the year on the runwayThe multi-platinum country star with hits such as 'In case you didn't know,' 'Lady,' and 'Mercy' also wanted to share his thoughts on the event.
