Spirit Airlines turned out to be so popular that after the announcement of its demise, a website created to buy and revive Spirit Airlines crashed because of overwhelming response from the people who want to pledge money to save the airline from biting dust. Hunter Peterson, a TikToker, started the website to crowdfund Spirit Airlines after the airlines announced on May 2 that it was ceasing operations. The company cited financial hardships owing to rising fuel prices and canceled all flights announcing that their customer service is also shut down.
"Sustaining the business required hundreds of millions of additional dollars of liquidity that Spirit simply does not have and could not procure. This is tremendously disappointing and not the outcome any of us wanted," Spirit President and CEO Dave Davis said in a statement.
