Spirit Airlines Declares Bankruptcy, Vows to Continue Operations

TL;DR Summary
Spirit Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection but plans to continue operations as usual. The low-cost carrier, which has not posted a full-year profit since 2019, aims to restructure its debts with bondholders' support. Spirit's attempted merger with JetBlue was blocked earlier this year, leading to operational downsizing and asset sales. The airline expects to complete the restructuring by early 2025.
