Spirit Airlines reaches deal to emerge from bankruptcy, avoiding closure threat

(CNN) — Spirit Airlines, which had been in danger of going out of business due to ongoing losses and two bankruptcy filings, has reached a deal that will allow it to survive, albeit as a smaller company.

The budget airline announced Tuesday that it made an agreement with creditors that will allow it to emerge from bankruptcy later this spring or early summer.

“Spirit will emerge as a strong, leaner competitor that is positioned to profitably deliver the value American consumers expect at a price they want to pay,” CEO Dave Davis said in a statement.

Spirit, a no-frills carrier that charges very low base fares and fees for extras, filed its second bankruptcy last year. The airline has struggled to stem losses that started during the pandemic as demand shifted away from low-fare offerings toward more comfortable, experience-driven travel.

Companies often emerge from bankruptcy with lower debt and operating costs. But Spirit repeatedly warned investors in recent years that there was “substantial doubt” it would be able to stay in business.

The airline’s presence in the US market is important even to passengers who never fly its planes. Spirit’s low-fare model has forced larger legacy carriers like Delta or United to offer a certain number of no-frill seats in order to compete. Thus, its closure would have likely led to higher fares across the industry.

Spirit Airlines will emerge a much smaller company than the one that first went into bankruptcy in November 2024. The airline has sold aircrafts and gates to raise cash and reduce debt, and has significantly cut staff.

This upcoming summer travel season, Spirit will offer nearly 40% fewer flights and seats than during the same period in 2024, ahead of its bankruptcy, according to data from aviation analytics firm Cirium.

Spirit will also remain an independent carrier under the terms of the deal. In the past, US airlines have been purchased out of bankruptcy and merged into other carriers. Spirit has twice agreed to be bought only for both deals to fall through.

In February 2022, Spirit agreed to merge with Frontier Airlines, another ultra-low cost carrier. But that deal fell apart when JetBlue Airways came in with a higher bid preferred by Spirit shareholders.

However, the JetBlue deal ended up being blocked by a federal judge in January 2024. The court ruled such a combination would violate federal antitrust laws and hurt airline passengers by driving up fares.

Concluyó la primera temporada de “El caballero de los siete reinos”. Estas son las claves de la segunda

Por Gonzalo Jiménez, CNN en Español

La serie “El caballero de los siete reinos” acaba de concluir su primera temporada el domingo pasado y ya se encuentra grabando los nuevos episodios de una segunda temporada.

La razón: Variety reportó que, según HBO, cada capítulo de la primera temporada de “El caballero de los siete reinos” fue visto por un promedio de 13 millones de espectadores. No en balde, el diario The Guardian escribió que la serie “salvó el universo de ‘Juego de tronos’”.

Casey Bloys, CEO de HBO, dijo a Deadline que la segunda temporada tendrá también solo seis episodios y que el plan es estrenar nuevos episodios anualmente. Esto es posible pues cada temporada cuenta una única historia, ambientada principalmente en un único lugar, y sin escenas de épicas batallas ni dragones, como sucede en “House of the Dragon”. (HBO, al igual que CNN en Español, forma parte de Warner Bros. Discovery).

Además, Ira Parker, el showrunner de “El caballero de los siete reinos”, cuenta ya con dos novelas publicadas por George R. R. Martin de la saga llamada “Tales of Dunk and Egg”, en la que se basa “El caballero de los siete reinos”.

La primera temporada adaptó “The Hedge Knight”, publicada en 1998. Las otras dos novelas disponibles son “The Sworn Sword” (2003) y “The Mystery Knight” (2010). George R. R. Martin ha dicho que planea escribir 10 o 12 historias más de Dunk y Egg, según Los siete reinos, sitio web especializado en la obra de este escritor. Según este reporte, Martin ya tiene escrita la cuarta novela corta de esta saga, “The She-Wolves of Winterfell”, aunque no se ha impreso.

Así que los productores cuentan con las historias originales del autor para que la serie alcance su cuarta temporada sin desviarse de las novelas, a diferencia de “Juego de tronos”, que superó la trama de los libros en la sexta temporada y debió inventar argumentos para su conclusión que probablemente difieran de las novelas aún por publicarse.

“Están produciendo la temporada 2 en este momento, y publicarán la temporada 3 después de eso. Realmente no he considerado qué es posible más allá de eso, pero si (George R. R. Martin) tiene más historias, sin duda es algo de lo que hablar con (el showrunner) Ira (Parker) y George”, dijo Bloys a Deadline.

La segunda temporada de “El caballero de los siete reinos” adapta la novela “The Sworn Sword” (“La espada leal”, en español). Como parte de la saga literaria “Tales of Dunk and Egg”, el libro reconstruye las aventuras del caballero errante Ser Duncan the Tall, conocido como Dunk, y su escudero Egg, apodo que oculta su identidad real: la del príncipe Aegon Targaryen.

La segunda temporada se desarrolla dos años después de los acontecimientos del torneo de Ashford Meadow, descritos en la primera temporada.

En “The Sworn Sword” se aborda la historia de Dunk, ahora con cabello largo, y su escudero Egg mientras sirven bajo las órdenes de Ser Eustace Osgrey,

VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. (KEYT) – On Saturday, a car and two motorcycles were involved in a traffic collision on State Route 150, leaving one of the motorcyclists dead at the scene and the other with major injuries.

The driver of the car had minor injuries at the scene shared the California Highway Patrol-Ventura Area (CHP) in a press release Tuesday.

On Feb. 21, around 10:29 a.m., dispatchers began to receive multiple calls about a three vehicle collision on State Route 150 at its intersection with Old Walnut Road southeast of Ojai stated the CHP.

After an investigation, it was determined that a 75-year-old driver of a gray Audi Q4 on Old Walnut Road was attempting to make a left turn onto eastbound State Route 150 when two westbound motorcyclists, a 67-year-old Porter Ranch man and a 63-year-old man from West Hollywood, were riding side-by-side at the same time detailed the CHP.

According to the CHP, the westbound motorcyclists collided with the Audi resulting in major injuries to the 67-year-old Porter Ranch man riding a Honda CRF 1000. He was later pronounced dead at the scene by first responders.

The other motorcyclist, a 63-year-old West Hollywood man riding a BMW R1250 GS, suffered major injuries as a result of the crash and he was airlifted from the scene to Ventura County Medical Center for further medical treatment explained the CHP.

Alcohol nor drugs appear to have played a factor in the fatal collision noted the CHP, but anyone with more information in this ongoing investigation is asked to call the California Highway Patrol's Ventura Area Office at 805-662-2640.
