Spirit Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following significant financial struggles marked by mounting losses and failed mergers. The airline's recent strategic moves include selling aircraft and laying off workers to stabilize finances. Despite these challenges, the company assures that operations will continue as normal for travelers. As part of its restructuring, Spirit is set to receive financial support from bondholders, which aims to reduce its debt and enhance financial flexibility. However, pre-existing stockholders are expected to suffer as the canceled shares will have no value moving forward.
