Spirit Airlines was known for some spirited interactions involving passengers over the years, but some longtime customers are painting a different portrait of the ultra-low cost carrier following its shuttering over the weekend.
For more than three decades, the airline carried travelers across the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean with a commitment to both savings and safety.
However years of financial troubles and recent spikes in fuel prices finally proved too much for the carrier, which wound down operations on May 2.
“Spirit Airlines gets a lot of flack, but I'll be sad to see them go,” Matthew Cappucci, a senior meteorologist at MyRadar, posted on X, echoing a sentiment shared by others across social media.
