In a sad development that should surprise no one, Spirit Airlines management has raised concerns about the company’s ability to continue operating…
Then we saw JetBlue try to acquire Spirit, in order to allow JetBlue to be more of a national competitor. However, that deal was blocked by regulators, who argued it was anti-competitive. We eventually saw Spirit file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which was a very quick process.
Spirit is trying to decrease costs and increase revenue however it can, ranging from introducing more premium seating, to furloughing pilots, to selling aircraft and leasing them back. Now the company has yet another issue.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
