Spirit Airlines files for bankruptcy protection again
SUMMARY: Spirit Airlines, a budget carrier known for low-cost, no-frills flights, has filed for bankruptcy protection again months after emerging from Chapter 11 in March. Despite restructuring debt and securing financing, Spirit faces ongoing financial challenges, including $2.4 billion in long-term debt and negative cash flow. The airline continues normal operations, assuring customers can book flights and maintain loyalty benefits.
