Spirit Airlines shuts down all operations

Spirit Airlines at 2 am (0200) EDT on May 2, 2026 made this announcement:

It is with great disappointment that on May 2, 2026, Spirit Airlines started an orderly wind-down of our operations, effective immediately.

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 and had hoped to serve our Guests for many years to come.
