A FLL non hai molto da temere. Sono convinto che a JetBlue interessasse Spirit soprattutto per consolidare la propria presenza / semi-monopolizzare Orlando e Fort Lauderdale: se dovesse sparire Spirit, ci sarà una corsa ad accaparrarsi lo spazio in quei due aeroporti. Magari le foto ti diventeranno un po’ ripetitive.
Frontier is adding 20 new routes from Detroit, Houston, Baltimore, Fort Lauderdale, Charlotte, and Dallas with fares starting from just $29 in its latest attack against Spirit Airlines.
One-way fare start at $29.
As Spirit warns of its fight for survival and explores options, including further route cuts and the selling of its assets, Frontier Airlines sees opportunity. These routes do not begin until the end of 2025 or early 2026…giving Spirit Airlines just enough rope to hang itself. Frontier, perhaps not unreasonably, expects it may be the last major ultra low-cost airline standing by the end of the year and so it might as well go after Spirit on these routes.
But let’s not forget that Frontier is losing money too and even though it has tried to reinvent itself through a premium cabin, extra legroom, and a more generous loyalty program, the program still does not have the reach or power to offset the losses from flying. That’s an existential problem for Frontier and every other budget carrier. It’s why we are seeing a flurry of partnership announcements from Sotuwehst Airlines (EVA Airways) and JetBlue (Condor) as those carriers seek to grow their loyalty program.
Finally, the “Frontier effect” is different than the “Southwest effect” or “Spirit effect” in that the limited flight schedule (like flying from Houston to Fort Lauderdale only once a week) only leads to limited price matching. For example, a United flight from IAH to FLL departing on Saturday around the same time as the Frontier flight may be similarly priced, but all other flights will be priced much higher.

While many of these are bread-and-butter routes for network carriers, the focus on Spirit focus cities in cities like Baltimore, Detroit, and Houston is no coincidence.As Spirit warns of its fight for survival and explores options, including further route cuts and the selling of its assets, Frontier Airlines sees opportunity. These routes do not begin until the end of 2025 or early 2026…giving Spirit Airlines just enough rope to hang itself. Frontier, perhaps not unreasonably, expects it may be the last major ultra low-cost airline standing by the end of the year and so it might as well go after Spirit on these routes.

CONCLUSION
Frontier’s expansion is less about building new markets and more about taking direct aim at Spirit during a moment of weakness. Whether these routes succeed will depend not only on Spirit’s survival but also on Frontier’s own ability to stem losses while filling planes on a relatively thin schedule. For consumers, the additions mean more cheap seats…at least on certain days…but the long-term question remains whether Frontier can truly thrive as the last big ultra low-cost carrier standing. If Spirit falters, Frontier may inherit its mantle, but the broader challenge is whether any ULCC can survive in a market that increasingly rewards scale, loyalty programs, and global connectivity.source: https://liveandletsfly.com/frontier-20-new-routes-vs-spirit/

Spirit Airlines Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy AGAIN: This Is What Passengers Urgently Need To Know
Spirit Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy again, reassuring passengers that travel plans and flights will continue as usual.
Spirit Airlines update:
Spirit Airlines Facing Potential Liquidation This Week
Spirit Airlines is reportedly at risk of total liquidation as early as this week, according to industry sources familiar with the matter. The bankrupt budget carrier has seen its financial position deteriorate rapidly as rising jet fuel prices—spurred by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East—put further pressure on its Chapter 11 restructuring efforts.
The airline, which had been aiming for an early summer exit from bankruptcy, is now facing a "binary outcome" as takeover talks and asset sales reach a critical juncture. While Spirit has recently worked to recall crew and offload aircraft to raise capital, sources indicate the recent surge in operational costs may have closed the window for a successful turnaround.

La CNN riporta che Spirit sia alla ricerca di mezzo miliardo per salvarsi e che Trump stia addirittura valutando una partecipazione azionaria diretta del governo americano.
Ma – colpo di scena – mai come in questo caso c’è stata un’alzata di scudi da parte dei repubblicani, da Ted Cruz (che su X scrive “This is a TERRIBLE idea”) fino allo stesso segretario dei trasporti Sean Duffy.

Report: Spirit Airlines prepares to cease operations after bailout talks collapse
Bankrupt discount carrier Spirit Airlines is preparing to cease operations after failing to secure agreement from key bondholders and the U.S. government on a proposed bailout plan, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.
Live da FLL , pieno di gente per il farewell di Spirit , ultimo volo in arrivo questa notte alle 2 am
Spirit Airlines shuts down, industry's first Iran war casualty
The collapse of Spirit will result in thousands of lost jobs and marks the first airline to fail in part due to a doubling in jet fuel prices during the two-month-old Iran war.
Grazie Nacho, well done (per le sparate sul salvataggio che hanno arricchito gli insider e per il costo del carburante). Poi che la compagnia andasse male di suo nulla può Taco.
Ultima modifica:
A me viene in mente la mancata acquisizione da parte di JetBlue. Adesso ci sara' meno concorrenza.
Oggi sarebbe dovuto essere l'ultimo volo prima della pensione di questo comandante di Spirit.
Southwest gli ha organizzato comunque la festa.

L'unica che aveva un certo senso era quella da parte di Frontier; però gli investitori di Spirit vollero preferire l'offerta più alta proposta da JetBlue, malgrado lo stesso management di Spirit fosse lì a dire che non avrebbero mai ricevuto l'OK del DOJ - cosa puntualmente verificatasi.
Comunque, non è che con JetBlue le cose sarebbero andate meglio; JetBlue è stracarica di debiti e brucia soldi, e IMHO ne sarebbero fallite due invece che una sola.
