Yes, Spirit Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The airline has been struggling with significant financial losses and mounting debt, which have been exacerbated by the pandemic and failed merger attempts with JetBlue and Frontier. Despite the bankruptcy filing, Spirit Airlines plans to continue operating as normal while it works through the bankruptcy process. Customers can still book flights and use their tickets, credits, and loyalty points without interruption.
It’s a challenging time for the airline, but they are hopeful that this restructuring will help them emerge stronger and more financially stable.
