Woah 🤯 wasn’t expecting this news!
The airline canceled all flights effective immediately and told passengers not to go to the airport, according to a notice posted on its website shortly after 2 a.m. Eastern. On the homepage, where customers could previously make reservations, a bright yellow banner declared that Spirit was “winding down all operations.”
The budget airline had lost billions of dollars in recent years, filing for bankruptcy in 2024 and 2025. Spirit hoped to emerge from its second bankruptcy this summer as a smaller company, but those plans fell apart as fuel prices rose in recent weeks.
