Spirit Airlines files for bankruptcy as financial losses pile up and debt payments loom
SUMMARY: Spirit Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy seeking to restructure amid significant losses and competition from larger carriers. The airline has lost over $2.5 billion since 2020 and faces a billion-dollar debt due in 2025 and 2026. Despite the bankruptcy, Spirit assured normal operations for bookings and employee payments. The company secured a $350 million investment and converted $795 million in debt to equity. Rising costs and lower fares have tarnished Spirit’s profitability, compelling them to alter their business model, including bundled fares, in an attempt to stay competitive in a challenging market.
