@detroit_news: The Spirit Airlines counter is empty at Detroit Metro Airport, Saturday, May 2, 2026, after the carrier shut down. More at the link in bio. (Video by Sarah Atwood, TDN). Would-be travelers caught unaware of Spirit Airlines' shutdown, or simply mourning the loss of the affordable airline, stood around the now empty and dark Spirit Airlines check-in counter Saturday morning in the Detroit Metro Airport's Evans Terminal. The carrier had warned it might cease operation Friday. Saturday morning, the Wayne County Airport Authority asked Spirit flyers not to go to the Romulus airport, but some came anyway, hoping to rebook a flight with another airline. #spirit #spiritairlines #detroit #dtw #romulus
