Spirit Airlines ceases operations after failed federal bailout

today, Spirit Airlines has gone bankrupt, ceasing all operations cancelling all flight I found the last Spirit flight on FR24. Spirit Airlines on May 2, 2026, Spirit ceased operations after negotiations with the United States government for a potential bailout deal failed amid rising fuel costs as a result of the 2026 Iran war.

I have some reasons.
1 spirit and frontier were the 2 main American ultra low cost carriers. (I know about southwest)
2. So there is no one to compete with frontier.
3. No one is keeping frontier’s price in check!
