SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Spirit Airlines, known for its low fares and bright yellow planes, announced Saturday it has gone out of business<\/a> after 34 years.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio International Airport said it was \u201csaddened\u201d to learn the airline had ceased operations. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have enjoyed our great partnership with the carrier and the opportunity to offer low fares to destinations popular with our passengers,\u201d a San Antonio International Airport spokesperson said in a statement. <\/p>\n

The airline said on its website<\/a> that all flights have been canceled and Spirit guests should not go to the airport.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio airport said the carrier began reducing flights from San Antonio in January, operating only routes to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando. <\/p>\n

Spirit Airlines assistance will not be available at the airport, the spokesperson said. Those with existing Spirit Airlines reservations are asked to visit spirit.com<\/a> or contact their credit card company directly for help.<\/p>\n

The company said it will automatically refund customers who purchased flights with a credit or debit card to their original form of payment. <\/p>\n

Passengers who booked through a travel agent or used a voucher, credit or Free Spirit points should click here<\/a> for more information on the refund process.<\/p>\n

The airport said passengers looking to reach South Florida still have options. American Airlines offers flights to Miami, while Frontier Airlines and Southwest Airlines both serve Orlando.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio International Airport said it continues to advocate for additional service on other carriers.<\/p>\n
