Trump Transportation Sec Duffy announces relief for Spirit Airlines flyers, employees

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a number of relief measures for Spirit Airlines customers in the wake of the beleaguered airline’s impending closure. 

The four major U.S. airlines — United, Delta, JetBlue and Southwest — “are all capping ticket prices specifically for Spirit customers who now need to rebook canceled flights,” Duffy said in a Saturday post on X. 

Additional relief measures for both customers and former Spirit employees will also be implemented, including a pathway for preferential employment interviews at other airlines, Duffy wrote.
