Transportation Secretary addresses Spirit Airlines shutdown at Newark airport

Описание: U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy spoke at Newark Liberty International Airport following Spirit Airlines’ decision to cease operations.

Spirit said customers can expect refunds for fares that have already been purchased. If you purchased the fares directly through Spirit Airlines, refunds will automatically go to the original form of payment. If you purchased the fare through a travel agent or third-party booking site, you'll have to go directly through the agent or third-party company.

According to the Department of Transportation, the following airlines are offering capped ticket prices and relief for Spirit customers, but only for a limited time. Customers should be prepared to show receipts for Spirit purchases:

JetBlue: Available for 72 hours
Southwest: Available for 72 hours only in person at an airport ticket counter
Delta: Available for 5 days
United: Available for 2 weeks online
