Mogul's right, it refers to the other fees and revenue they make besides tickets:
Actually, Spirit Airlines offers a $9 fare club for an annual fee of $59.95 as another revenue stream.
IMO, its a way to sell low cost tickets, by reducing the % of revenue coming from ticket sales by increasing the number of revenue streams, allows you to lower the profit margins per ticket to create a market advantage to get more passengers. Fun fact, amusement park ticket sales only account for about 50% of revenue. The rest comes from other revenue streams like food and merchandise. This would give them room to lower ticket sales or not increase ticket prices.

In the airline industry, ancillary revenue is revenue from non-ticket sources, such as baggage fees and on-board food and services, and has become an important financial component for low-cost carriers (LCCs) in Europe, North America and other global regions.
