The airline cited a sudden and sustained rise in fuel prices as the reason for its demise, stating it could not procure the necessary liquidity to continue. This shutdown marks the first failure of a major U.S. airline in decades and is expected to lead to increased ticket prices in markets where Spirit previously competed. AI
