And Spirit was gonna exit bankruptcy if not for this war in Iran driving gas prices to the sun... so sad.

not 'in'... .... 'on' Iran...!
Peace

What happens to all the people who depended on Spirit for their livelihood?!
Terrible. Already the economy is tanking

The Govt should have stepped in to at least ensure jobs are protected.
Oh I forgot - they can't do Healthcare, social security, liberal arts, meal programs either, because only 'war' is good for this Govt-as-bigbusiness

All our president cares about is Iran and golf. Look what he’s done to our country - making it the opposite of great again.

Well, it also important to note that Spirit could've merged with JetBlue but the Biden administration shot it down on grounds of antitrust… and now we're down one airline and have to deal with higher fares anyway…

The merger wouldn't have cured all of Spirit's ills, but it's still ironic nonetheless

I honestly think that just would've sent a bigger airline under. MAYBE it woukd have bought them some time. But imagine the money B6 would have had to spend converting NK's 100+ plane's into B6 specs, plus IT and staff mergers...

I’m in the uk so not too affiliated with Spirit. But I did love their yellow livery! It stood out and I actually loved it! I’m sick to death of airlines now that operate with the most boring uninteresting liveries. Spirit was the opposite. I think with this stupid war of choice with Iran we gonna see a lot more airlines folding. Especially in Europe.

Hopefully the Staff has been fully reassigned within the Lufthansa Group
I recall they'd gone on a strike for this a couple of months ago

Will the CRJ's stay?

Permanent grounding, removing from the flight line all the 27 CRJs
"This swift action means the end of the Bombardier CRJ era for the operator (Lufthansa)".
