Based in Florida, Spirit Airlines now faces a race against time to meet its financing milestones and finalize aircraft deals before year’s end.
“We’re using every instrument in the Chapter 11 toolkit to build a stronger, more agile airline,” a company representative said in a statement after the ruling.
