The airline, plagued by financial struggles and rising jet fuel prices, was unable to compete with larger airlines adopting its bare-bones model. Passengers are being rebooked at capped prices, and Spirits crew is being assisted in getting home. The airlines demise leaves a void in the market, potentially leading to increased fares as competition wanes.
