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.
