(West Palm Beach, FL) Spirit Airlines said it has reimbursed most customers for canceled flights after ceasing operations.

The airline told CBS News it is still processing a “small percentage” of refunds.

Spirit announced early Saturday that it had begun an “orderly wind-down of operations” after efforts to secure a $500 million federal bailout failed.

The airline said refunds for tickets purchased with credit or debit cards would be processed automatically.
