Spirit Airlines CEO Dave Davis didn't want it to end this way."We didn't intentionally sell any tickets thinking we weren't going to be here," he said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "We thought we were going to get the liquidity we needed.". Davis apologized to passengers whose flights are being canceled.After serving millions of travelers over its more than 30 years of flying, Spirit is shutting down.

The airline's bright yellow planes have been parked.But negotiations over a rescue deal between the government and Spirit's bondholders hit an impasse. After a Thursday evening phone call with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who championed a deal to provide Spirit a $500 million government bailout, Davis knew it was time.When Davis joined the airline last year, his task was to get the airline on a firm footing after its merger with JetBlue w

He assessed that his other options -- resume bombing or walk away from the conflict -- carried more risk than maintaining the blockade, officials said."Iran is calculating that its ability to withstand and circumvent the blockade outstrips the U.S. interest in preventing a wider energy crisis and potentially a global recession," said Suzanne Maloney, an Iran expert and vice president of the Brookings Institution's foreign policy program. "A regime that slaughtered its own citizens to silence protests in January is fully prepared to impose economic
