"Spirit was not a niche carrier in the market. It was one of the airlines that helped keep fares competitive on routes used by vacationers, Puerto Rican families, business travelers, students, cruise passengers, and travelers heading beyond the capital to the island’s west and south coasts." Even if you would never fly Spirit yourself, you probably benefited from their existence, especially if Puerto Rico was a primary destination for you. Ripple effects. https://www.caribjournal.com/2026/05/05/puerto-rico-hit-harder-spirit/
