Spirit Airlines Prepares to Shut Down

P.M. Edition for May 1. Spirit Airlines prepares to stop operating after a government rescue falls apart. Journal reporter Alison Sider walks us through what happened and how Spirit changed the American travel industry. Plus, why some credit-card issuers are warning they’ll leave the state of Illinois. Ben Glickman, who covers payments, joins us to discuss the state law banning some credit-card fees that’s set this off. And after years of hope and disappointment, robotaxis are finally hitting the streets—at least, in some American cities. We hear from WSJ reporter Sean McLain about how the rollout is going and what’s next. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter. Learn more about your ad choices.
