Spirit Airlines Prepares to Cease Operations After Rescue Deal Stalls, WSJ Reports

Bankrupt discount carrier Spirit Airlines is preparing to cease operations, after failing to align certain bondholders and the U.S. government on a bailout plan, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Spirit Airlines and the White House did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

A rescue hearing scheduled for Thursday, April 30, did not take place after talks over the terms of a potential $500 million U.S. government bailout reached an impasse.
