A major airline has closed down and cancelled all flights from today (Saturday, May 2) after plunging into financial difficulty.

Spirit Airlines announced the move on Saturday.

Announcing an “orderly wind-down” of operations, the airline added: “To our Guests: all flights have been cancelled, and customer service is no longer available.

“We are proud of the impact of our ultra-low-cost model on the industry over the last 34 years and had hoped to serve our Guests for many years to come.”
