Spirit Airlines is pulling out of Columbia Metropolitan Airport just six months after launching, leaving travelers scrambling for alternatives. Even though flights to Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and Newark were packed, Spirit’s financial troubles forced the sudden exit. Folks with tickets after October 4 should reach out to Spirit for help. The airport team was blindsided, especially since the community proved it could support a budget airline. Allegiant is still flying to Florida twice a week, but this shake-up has a lot of people wondering what’s really going on with low-cost carriers. How will this impact your travel plans? #News #SpiritAirlines #ColumbiaSC
