Naturally, they say this is Biden's fault.
“Spirit Airlines would be on a much firmer financial footing had the Biden administration not recklessly blocked the airline’s merger with JetBlue,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement to CNBC. “The Trump administration continues to monitor the situation and overall health of the U.S. aviation industry that millions of Americans rely on every day for essential travel and their livelihoods.”
President Donald Trump hinted at potential government aid on Tuesday, telling CNBC’s “Squawk Box”, “Spirit’s in trouble, and I’d love somebody to buy Spirit. It’s 14,000 jobs, and maybe the federal government should help that one out.”

*Bailout package
Corporate socialism.
Did spirit gift trump a golden spirit plane?
Just let them fail.
trump will buy spirit and rename it trump airlines lol
Well in this particular case they are actually right (blind squirrel, nut, etc)
Was stupid to not allow NK/B6 merger
It’ll be renamed Trump Airlines
Ya they’re all gonna need a bail out if if we don’t get oil moving around the world. Jet fuel is in really short supply
Definitely gonna have a trump named 747 or something next month
People who need a bailout are criticized and dehumanized by this regime but they are willing to bail out a fully capable corporation. I hate what the US has become
They need to socialize those profits
They do have a point on the Biden comment, the ULCC business model is dying and Biden blocked them from merging into another similarly sized carrier with a more traditional model. In hindsight it was a poor decision to block that merger.
Ken Griffin must be happy. They all seem to get away with everything so why do us peasants have to play by the rules all the time?
Trump Airlines
It literally is Biden’s fault
To be very fair, their merger with JetBlue should not have been blocked. That was a weird decision. Both airlines are underwater, and there is a lot of other competition out there, while low budget airlines are dying.
Too big to fail
This is a mistake
I never want to hear anyone ever talk about free markets again.
CEO earned $4million in 2025. But they need a bailout.
Privatized profits, socialized losses
Corporate welfare. What happened to competition.
The company would’ve been in a better position if another company bought it?
Lmao this admin is a joke.
