U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated on May 2 that government bailouts are unnecessary for low-cost airlines seeking $2.5 billion in relief due to high jet fuel costs, suggesting they seek private market funding instead. This announcement followed his earlier update on May 2 that he would provide details on Spirit Airlines ceasing operations and the Department of Transportation's coordinated actions to assist ticket holders and impacted employees. Previously, on May 1, Secretary Duffy announced a series of measures to support Spirit Airlines customers and employees after the company folded overnight following a failure to secure a bailout deal. These policies allow stranded customers to rebook tickets with other carriers at capped or reduced prices. Separately on May 1, lawmakers revealed that 10 airports in Oregon are set to receive a combined total of $3.14 million in federal funding.
