"We've just been in the airport all night. First they told us they were going to give us hotels, Uber, and food vouchers, but then they canceled and said they couldn't give it to us. So we've just been sitting here all night."
"It is with great disappointment that Spirit Airlines has started winding down its global operations, effective immediately. All flights have been cancelled, and customer service is no longer available."
"Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed the Biden Administration for the airline's collapse, stating that the airline was doomed when the Justice Department pushed to block the proposed $3.8 billion Spirit-Jet Blue merger."
Spirit Airlines announced the immediate shutdown of its operations, canceling all flights and leaving customers stranded. One customer, with three young children, reported being at the airport all night after plans for hotel and food vouchers were canceled. She had to book new flights with another airline. The shutdown followed failed negotiations for a $500 million government lifeline, with Transportation Secretary blaming the Biden Administration for the airline's collapse due to blocking a merger with Jet Blue.
