Panicked passengers, travel agents, other airlines, and even the federal government scrambled to find alternative flights for thousands of stranded flyers after Spirit Airlines’ sudden shutdown.

The low-cost airline ceased all operations on Saturday. It is the first major business to fall victim to President Donald Trump’s war with Iran after the soaring cost of jet fuel finally pushed Spirit over the edge.
