Spirit Airlines has announced it is ceasing all operations and going out of business. The airline canceled all flights nationwide following a failed attempt to secure a government rescue deal aimed at keeping the carrier afloat.
The sudden shutdown has left numerous travelers stranded across the country. Other airlines are reportedly offering discounted fares to assist those affected by Spirit's closure. Spirit's CEO has also commented on the airline's final days.
President Trump's Transportation Secretary, Elaine Duffy, has announced that relief measures are being put in place for both Spirit Airlines flyers and its employees. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
