Spirit Airlines passengers left without flights after the carrier shut down are being offered capped fares, reduced prices and refund guidance under an emergency relief effort coordinated by the U.S. Department of Transportation and major airlines.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Saturday that American, United, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, Allegiant, Frontier, Avelo, and Breeze had agreed to support affected travelers after Spirit ceased operations. The DOT said the goal is to help ticket holders get where they need to go, prevent price spikes on affected routes and keep stranded customers from being left at airports.
