Spirit Airlines Ceases Operations
A Spirit Airlines operational update is displayed on a kiosk at the check-in area at Boston Logan International Airport on May 2, 2026. On this day, Spirit Airlines announces it will cease operations and stop flying ''effective immediately.'' The airline has been facing financial difficulties and recently sought a federal bailout from the Trump administration, but a deal was not reached. (Photo by Erica Denhoff/NurPhoto)
