Frontier Airlines Attempts New Merger with Spirit Airlines Amid Bankruptcy Proceedings

Frontier Airlines has made another merger proposal to struggling Spirit Airlines, which has rejected the offer, citing inadequate terms as it plans to exit bankruptcy soon.

Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Frontier Airlines has renewed its bid to merge with Spirit Airlines, currently in bankruptcy, but Spirit has rejected the proposal, calling it financially inadequate. Frontier argues its plan offers better long-term viability than Spirit’s own strategy, which aims for a bankruptcy exit this quarter after cutting costs and dealing with operational challenges. Spirit has recently terminated 200 jobs and sold aircraft amid struggles post-pandemic, while both airlines are evolving their business models to survive in a highly competitive market. Frontier is determined to pursue the merger despite Spirit's resistance.
