Spirit Airlines ceased operations on Saturday after abruptly cancelling more than 4,000 domestic flights scheduled through May 15. The ultra-low-cost carrier collapsed following a recent doubling of jet fuel prices driven by the United States-Israel-Iran war. The exit removes a critical low-fare ceiling in the United States aviation market, potentially raising family travel costs by $1,000.
