Spirit Airlines announces shutdown after 34 years of operations
Spirit Airlines, a major ultra-low-cost carrier, shut down over the weekend after 34 years in business, eliminating approximately 17,000 jobs. The Biden administration's decision to block the proposed JetBlue-Spirit merger has been cited as a contributing factor to the airline's failure. The shutdown reduces competition in the U.S. airline market, leaving only the "big four" carriers.
