Because you not conversant with US politics.

YesDaddyTill203:
Trump is winning too much; we are tired of winning.
The effects of the increase in fuel prices on all airlines worldwide are drastic.
Even KLM has canceled many flights worldwide. Many other Airlines are now barely surviving.

The Orange PDF buffoon clown is a disaster to the US economy and world standing.
Can't wait to vote against anyone who supports the convicted felon.

You people should grow up and stop childish discussions. Spirit airlines has been having liquidity issues before now, so this your talk no gell at all, stop pushing false narratives and face Nigeria's issues.

It is not any of my concern and it shouldn't your concern. So face Nigeria's issues.

It’s truly disheartening to hear about Spirit Airlines’ struggles and the eventual decision to wind down their operations. The ripple effects of rising jet fuel costs, particularly in the wake of the Iran conflict, have clearly taken a heavy toll on the carrier. It’s a tough blow for both the airline’s employees and its passengers, especially those who might have made plans relying on upcoming flights.

The automatic refund process for customers who booked directly is a small consolation, but for those who booked through travel agents or used vouchers, it might take some time to sort things out. It's unfortunate that the airline isn't in a position to cover additional costs related to canceled trips, further complicating matters for affected travelers.

Analysts had indicated that Spirit was already in a precarious situation prior to the fuel crisis, and it sounds like the necessary changes to ensure long-term survival weren’t robust enough. It’s a critical reminder of how external factors can heavily influence businesses, especially in the airline sector.

As passengers are left to deal with this situation, it’s clear that the fallout will be felt for some time, both personally and within the broader industry. The mention of European fuel shortages adds an extra layer of concern, highlighting how interconnected the aviation world is, and how quickly things can change. It’s a reminder of the ongoing challenges facing airlines in a turbulent economic climate.

Seun don dey upload video ads here? An effect of the recent maintenance

Spirit airline Kwa!!!
Will I have the mind to board this airline probably gonna fly into the spiritual realm.

It's a pity for the airline winding up, especially to the workers who would be out of biz.

handsomeyinka:
They are really cheap but the bag fees is where they get passengers.
The charge bag fees at every stop.

Same with Frontier

Face Nigerian issues? Are all the political clowns in the US just facing US issues? Are they not more concerned about Nigerian issues than crimes that are happening in their own districts? Doesn't Cancun Cruz care more about the Nigerian issues than the issues in his own district?
BTW, I'm a Nigerian American, hence I can face US and Nigerian issues. It's None of ya, whatever I decide to face.
If Trump had faced just US issues instead of trying to poke his nose into other countries' affairs, we wouldn't be where we are now.
Give that advice to Trump instead of me.
Spirit, like all other Airlines have been having issues except for Delta, which is very solid financially.
What finally killed Spirit is the exponential increase in the cost of Jet Fuel. It will still kill many more airlines.
Anyone with an ounce of sense knows what led to the exponential increase in the cost of jet fuel.
Ostriches like you should bury their heads in the sand. I'm sure that you haven't grown up yet, because you would have known better than to post this empty diatribe.

How does spirit airline concern builder of Lagos? Spirit airline is called US discount carrier.

you want me to mention his name so they will ban my account e no go work for you

Thanks to the Orange, 34 felon convicted clown 🤡.

Spirit Airline? Are they being used by village people to attend coven meeting or what?...

Spirit needs the holy spirit to stay afloat ! ..🤔

Good riddance.

HacheNoire:

Smh. Why should the government bail out a failed private company? If they can’t agree to the terms, they were not serious.

AFONJACOW:
The builder of Lagos that emmm cement finished when they ask him to build Nigeria has done it again

My bloda, hope you don chop today?

Serves them right! A very useless airline. Poor customer care or support. Ever since I lost 2 luggage items in January 2024 and was never compensated. . . .I prayed for their downfall.

Gooooooood RIDDDDDDDDDANCE!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oga onyeala trump attacking Iran was the act of a crazy man USA go hear am

It's so surprising that people are not blaming the US president for this but let's assume it was a Nigerian airline that winds down like this, your guess is as mine.

GanagiBitrus:
Spirit Airlines.

Reminds me of Edo Airlines that flies only at midnight.

Omo you are very observant and well updated

Harsh economic climate, same as in Nigeria but critics and opposition believes it's only Nigeria 🇳🇬 that's affected!

obinna58:
It is what it is, tinubu doings

You people hennnnn

Damilola97:
I have never flown Spirit before but damn i do feel bad for the workers

I had a bad experience with them once and I swore never to fly them again.

The gate agent just told me I could not board for no reason. I kept asking her why and she eventually said I was preventing her from doing her work.

I then told her I pray that she does not let me board and miss my an important meeting for the next day.

Then she will not only loose her job but I will be compensated by the company through the courts.

I said this and calmly went to sit down. That was when she came back to her senses.

Nasty customer service. Always claiming people bags are too big to go in the cabin just to force them pay for luggage fees they did not plan

The Spirit has left the body it is finished

Oga leave this epistle and face Nigeria issues.

fineboynl:
How those this affect nige. Nigeria i hope this is not another threat might to discredit trump effort in iran?

Nigerians dey enjoy Spirit Airlines for obodoyibo o......de cheapest flights by far!

Plane fit dey groan o, but una go sha reach destination.

What does it have to do with Trump? Spirit has been struggling for a while and even Biden considered bailing them out and declined. Trump also considered it and other airlines considered buying them out.

The US aviation industry is fine and booming, see the results of the likes of American and United lol

United Airlines (UAL) reported a strong first quarter 2026, with revenue increasing 10.6% to $14.61 billion, driven by robust travel demand. Net income surged 80% to $699 million, or $2.14 per share, significantly exceeding the previous year's performance. Despite higher fuel costs, the company saw strong premium and business travel revenue, marking its highest-revenue first quarter ever.Financial Highlights (Q1 2026)Total Operating Revenue: $14.61 billion, a 10.6% increase year-over-year.

American Airlines reported $12.6 billion in revenue for the first quarter of 2025. This performance was driven by continued strength in international unit revenue and growth in premium and loyalty revenue, despite facing economic uncertainties impacting domestic leisure demand.

I think you have bigger issues with Air Peace and the fact you can't even grow a national airline 😂. Spirit had less than 3% is the market share.

Donald Epstein Trump

Well done sir!

Chai na this airline I fly from Houston to Atlanta o

After 34 years, the low‑cost airline is shutting down "effective immediately." 277 flights canceled. 17,000 employees out of work.

🤡 Trump is winning so much, his imposed war just grounded an entire airline.
