Spirit Airlines Delays Hearing Amid Federal Rescue Talks

Spirit Airlines delayed a bankruptcy court hearing scheduled for Thursday as the carrier continues negotiations over a $500 million United States government rescue package. The Florida-based airline is seeking immediate liquidity to avoid a liquidation process that could begin within seven business days. For investors, the outcome determines whether the carrier survives its second restructuring since 2025 or faces a total asset sale that would wipe out existing equity.
