SAYING SOARING FUEL PRICES, QUOTE, LEFT US WITH NO. ALTERNATIVE BUT TO PURSUE AN. ORDERLY WIND DOWN OF THE. COMPANY. NOW THE AIRLINE ENTERS. INTO A LIQUIDATION PROCESS, PARTIAL REFUNDS FROM ITS. RESERVE FUNDS EXPECTED TO TAKE.

DAYS. THE D-O-T SAYS THEY ARE. WORKING WITH OTHER CARRIERS TO. ROLL OUT RESCUE FARES, AVERAGING AROUND $200 FOR A ONE. WAY TICKET, MOST LIKELY HIGHER. THAN WHAT PASSENGERS HAD PAID. FOR THEIR TICKETS ON A SPIRIT. FLIGHT. BUT THE FALLOUT GOES. FAR BEYOND PASSENGERS. THE. AIRLINE NOW SCRAMBLING TO GET. ITS MORE THAN 1300 CREW MEMBERS. BACK HOME WITH HUNDREDS MORE.

CAR. >> THE ASSOCIATION OF FLIGHT. ATTENDANTS NOW URGING THE. GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND HELP. THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN LAID OFF. >> MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE. HARMED BY THIS, AND WE NEED TO. MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS AN. EFFORT UNDERWAY BY THE. ADMINISTRATION RIGHT AWAY TO. LIFT PEOPLE UP. >> AND THERE IS RELIEF FOR. TICKET HOLDERS TONIGHT, SPIRIT. SAYS. IF YOU BOOK DIRECTLY. THROUGH THEM THROUGH A CARD, THOSE REFUNDS SHOULD BE. AUTOMATIC. HOWEVER, IF YOU WENT. THROUGH A TRAVEL AGENCY OR SAY, A THIRD PARTY BOOKING WEBSITE, YOU WANT TO START THERE. LASTLY, IF YOU USE POINTS OR VOUCHERS,

THOSE REFUNDS WILL BE HANDLED. THROUGH THE BANKRUPTCY PROCESS, WHICH COULD TAKE SOME TIME. >> WITH STILL SO MUCH. UNCERTAINTY FOR THOSE. PASSENGERS. MORGAN NORWOOD, WE. APPRECIATE IT. GROWING CONCERNS. TONIGHT ABOUT THE STATE OF THE. ECONOMY. WITH GAS PRICES. SURGING AS HIGH AS $8 A GALLON. IN PARTS OF CALIFORNIA, THE. COST OF FOOD AND HOUSING ALSO. TICKING UP. AND THE WARNING. FROM OIL EXECUTIVES AMID THE. STALEMATE OVER THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ. HERE'S ABC'S ALEX. PRESHA. >> POCKETBOOK PAIN FOR MILLIONS. OF AMERICANS TONIGHT AS THEY. STRUGGLE TO GET BY WITH A.

GALLON OF GAS CLIMBING NEARLY. $0.40 IN JUST THE LAST WEEK AND. NO END IN SIGHT. THE NATIONAL. AVERAGE NOW SITTING AT $4.44 A. GALLON, A FOUR YEAR HIGH. >> I HAVE TO GO DOWN SOON. BECAUSE IT'S IT'S HORRIBLE. >> A NEW ABC NEWS WASHINGTON. POST IPSOS POLL SHOWS OVER 4 IN. 10 AMERICANS HAVE CUT BACK ON. DRIVING OR CUT OTHER HOUSEHOLD. EXPENSES BECAUSE OF HIGH GAS. PRICES, AND THOSE PRICES WILL. INCREASE AT LEAST 10 TO $0.15. PER GALLON IN THE COMING WEEKS. DUE TO STATIONS ROLLING OUT. THEIR MORE COSTLY SUMMER BLEND.

>> IF THE. >> STRAIT OF HORMUZ CONTINUES. TO BE BLOCKED OR SIGNIFICANTLY. IMPEDED, WE COULD SEE THE. NATIONAL AVERAGE PUSHING CLOSER. TO 4.75 OR EVEN THAT $5 GALLON. MARK BY MEMORIAL DAY. >> COMPLICATIONS OVER THE. STRAIT OF HORMUZ HAVE DRIVEN UP. OIL PRICES MORE THAN $100 A. BARREL, EXPERTS CAUTIONING. EVEN ONCE THE STRAIT IS FULLY. OPERATIONAL, IT COULD TAKE 1 TO. 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE FLOW OF OIL. IS REESTABLISHED. >> BUT WITH TIME, AS THE. STRAITS REMAIN CLOSED, THOSE. ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF SUPPLY.

WILL ATTRIT WILL RUN OUT OF THE. INVENTORY. AND SO WE'LL SEE AN. INCREASING IMPACT ON PRICE. >> FRIDAY, THE TREASURY. DEPARTMENT ISSUED A WARNING. THAT SHIPPERS WHO PAY IRANIAN. TOLLS TO TRAVEL THE STRAIT. COULD FACE AMERICAN SANCTIONS. THE RAPID AND SUSTAINED. INCREASE IN ENERGY PRICES, LEAVING MANY AMERICANS LITTLE. TIME TO ADJUST. >> IT'S SO MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE. >> THOSE ADDED COSTS OFTEN. REFLECTED IN HIGHER GROCERY. BILLS. THE MOST RECENT. INFLATION REPORT SHOWS CONSUMER. PRICES IN MARCH SURGED AT THEIR. FASTEST PACE SINCE 2022, AND IN.

THE HOUSING MARKET, THE AVERAGE. RATE ON A 30 YEAR FIXED. MORTGAGE TOPPED 6.1% THIS WEEK, THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN MORE THAN. A MONTH. WELL, AND WITH THE. CONCERN IS THAT IF OIL STAYS AT. THIS LEVEL FOR A YEAR, BY ONE. ESTIMATE, IT WILL COST THE. TYPICAL HOUSEHOLD AN EXTRA. $1,300 IN GAS AND DIESEL, NOT. INCLUDING THE FUEL SURCHARGE. THAT SOME COMPANIES HAVE. ALREADY ADOPTED. AND THEN, OF. COURSE, THOSE RISING AIRFARE. PRICES WITH. >> ALEX BHATIA, OUR THANKS TO. YOU NEXT. TONIGHT, PRESIDENT.

TRUMP ISSUING A NEW WARNING TO. IRAN AS OFFICIALS FROM THAT. COUNTRY SAY THE WAR IS LIKELY. TO RESUME AND THE RIFT BETWEEN. THE U.S. AND ITS ALLIES APPEARS. TO BE GROWING. HERE'S ABC'S.

WARNING RENEWED CONFLICT WITH. THE UNITED STATES, IS LIKELY, A. SENIOR IRANIAN MILITARY. OFFICIAL SAYING IN STATE MEDIA. THAT EVIDENCE SHOWS THE U.S. IS.

NOT COMMITTED TO ANY AGREEMENTS. OR TREATIES. THE ARMED FORCES. ARE FULLY PREPARED FOR ANY NEW. ADVENTURES OR FOOLISHNESS FROM. THE AMERICANS. PRESIDENT TRUMP. TELLING CONGRESS YESTERDAY THAT. THE WAR IS OVER, BYPASSING A. LEGAL DEADLINE THAT REQUIRES. CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL TO. CONTINUE MILITARY ACTION. BUT. JUST HOURS AFTER SENDING THAT. LETTER, TRUMP SAYING THE U.S. MIGHT BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT A. DEAL. >> THEY'VE GOT TO MAKE A BAD. DEAL. BUT IF THEY MAKE A DEAL, IT ALL BECAUSE, FRANKLY, MAYBE.

WE'RE BETTER OFF NOT MAKING A. DEAL AT ALL. >> WITH PEACE TALKS STALLED. TRUMP ISSUING IRAN THIS STARK. WARNING. >> WE WANT TO GO AND JUST BLAST. THE HELL OUT OF HIM AND FINISH. HIM FOREVER.

INTERNATIONAL COALITION TO HELP. REOPEN THE STRAIT. U.S. OFFICIALS TELL ABC NEWS THE. COALITION WOULD COORDINATE. DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS AND ENFORCE.

SANCTIONS. BUT THAT ASK COMES. AS TRUMP HAS REPEATEDLY BLASTED. OUR NATO ALLIES FOR NOT GETTING. DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE IRAN. WAR. ON MONDAY, THE GERMAN. CHANCELLOR PUBLICLY CRITICIZED. THE ADMINISTRATION'S HANDLING. OF THE WAR, SAYING THE. AMERICANS CLEARLY HAVE NO. STRATEGY AND THE U.S. IS BEING. HUMILIATED BY IRANIAN. NEGOTIATORS. TRUMP RESPONDING, ORDERING THE PENTAGON TO. WITHDRAW 5000 U.S. TROOPS FROM. GERMANY OVER THE NEXT 6 TO 12. MONTHS, AND WHICH. TONIGHT.
