Spirit Airlines Faces Bankruptcy as Stock Plummets Post-Merger Collapse

Spirit Airlines is reportedly preparing to file for bankruptcy after a failed merger with Frontier Airlines, causing its stock to plummet by 65% to just above $1 per share. The airline has faced significant financial challenges, including steep losses and looming debt costs, following unsuccessful merger attempts with both Frontier and JetBlue. Spirit has delayed refinancing $1.1 billion in debt and fully utilized a $300 million credit facility, raising concerns about its financial stability.
