Spirit Airlines, one of the largest low-cost carriers in the United States, has completely suspended its operations and canceled all flights, according to an announcement made by CNN. The company has entered its second bankruptcy process, and financial difficulties have worsened due to rising fuel costs and losses accumulated during the pandemic. This decision affects approximately 17,000 employees and millions of passengers who had already purchased tickets.


All flights have been canceled, and customer service has been halted. Passengers who purchased tickets with a credit card will receive refunds, but those who used vouchers or loyalty points may only recover their money through the bankruptcy process. Spirit Airlines was known for its ultra-low-cost model, influencing the entire airline industry in the U.S. This becomes the first major American airline to cease operations due to financial problems in the last 25 years.
