Spirit Airlines Gone: Low-Cost Carriers Fill Void

Spirit Airlines ceases operations, leaving a gap in the ultra-low-cost airline market. Budget travelers now turn to carriers like Frontier Airlines and Allegiant Air, which expand routes and maintain rock-bottom fares. These airlines ramp up flights to popular destinations, offering similar no-frills service with add-ons for bags and seats. Competition heats up as they vie for Spirit's former customers seeking affordable getaways.
