Spirit Airlines out of business under Trump..... comments ✈ 🛫. 👀
Here we go again. So you really think that the current Administration could not bail this company out. All they needed was a bail out. Not a merger which would have made the prices go up anyway. But it's ok for 400 million dollars to be spent on a ballroom right. You cannot be serious. This is beyond sad. 17,000.jobs lost here today. Comments. 🤔

The bailout would be wasted money. This outfit put itself in this position. The bailout would probably have bought them another six months. Two bankruptcy filings? Come on the writing is on the wall.
Spirit Airlines became infamous for its "nickel-and-dime" model, where ultra-low base fares were heavily advertised, but the final price often ballooned due to numerous mandatory-seeming ancillary fees. According to a 2023 analysis, these hidden fees could make the total cost 736% higher than the base fare.
