"Spirit Airlines has started an orderly wind-down of our operations, effective immediately, while the outcome of talks between the airline and the federal government over a $500 million rescue deal remains unclear."
"To our Guests: all flights have been cancelled, and customer service is no longer available. We are proud of the impact of our ultra-low-cost model on the industry over the last 34 years."
"The majority of the airline's employees found out about the airline's closure primarily through media reports that they were about to lose their jobs."
"President Trump mentioned, 'If we could do it, we do it, but only if it's a good deal,' regarding the potential bailout for Spirit Airlines."
Spirit Airlines has initiated an orderly wind-down of operations, cancelling all flights and ceasing customer service. The airline's final flight, flight 1833, transported over 50,000 passengers recently. More than 1,300 crew members are being assisted to return to their bases. Most employees learned about the closure through media rather than official communication. The airline's future remains uncertain as talks with the federal government regarding a $500 million rescue deal continue. President Trump indicated a potential announcement about the deal was forthcoming.
