The past few months have been pretty tumultuous for the airline industry!

It has been a rough few months!

Throughout the holiday season, we saw thousands of flights canceled, and the pandemic has affected travel in a variety of ways — from changing health and safety measures to staffing issues. And today, an IT problem is causing some major issues with one airline.

According to WESH 2 Orlando, Spirit Airlines has issued a temporary ground stop due to “technical difficulties impacting its website and other systems.” The announcement was made on the airline’s Facebook page this afternoon.
