Spirit Airlines Departing Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport

(Minneapolis, MN) — Discount carrier Spirit Airlines is ending service at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in December. Spirit filed for bankruptcy in August for the second time in a year as the carrier struggles to compete against bigger airlines. Officials say the decision to end service at M-S-P is part of the airline’s “ongoing restructuring.” Spirit plans to furlough more than 18-hundred flight attendants before the end of the year.
