Frontier och Spirit går ihop, bildar USA:s 5:e största flygbolag

Frontier Airlines and Spirit Airlines, the two largest low-cost carriers in the U.S. have agreed to merge, creating what would become the fifth-largest airline in the country. The boards of both companies approved the deal over the weekend, prior to the CEOs of both airlines announcing the agreement in New York City.

With both carriers flying only Airbus planes and neither dominating one particular market, a Spirit/Frontier merger makes sense on paper. Still, President Joe Biden's administration has made it clear to corporate America it will scrutinize potential mergers far more aggressively than the Trump administration.

Fel!
De har ansökt om skydd under chapter11 just för att undvika att ”kursa”.
Så länge ansökan godkänns avser de enligt artikeln du länkar till att driva verksamheten vidare, så ingen anledning till panik.
Det är sannolikt få försäkringar som ger dig något i det här läget.
Situationen är inte helt olik något som ett stort skandinaviskt flygbolag precis gick igenom.

Varenda flygbolag i USA har ju gått igenom den där processen. Fråga ChatGPT vilka som fortfarande existerar:
