Spirit Airlines is reportedly preparing to cease operations after failing to secure a $500 million government rescue package. ✈️

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, the budget carrier is moving toward a shutdown after failing to win enough support from bondholders and officials to stay afloat. Spirit, which has been struggling with financial losses and rising fuel costs, has filed for bankruptcy protection twice in the last two years.

Houston is one of Spirit's key operating bases. If the airline shuts down, it could impact hundreds of local routes and travelers across the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean.
